虚拟现实（VR）提供了身临其境的可视化，已被证明在各种医疗应用中很有用。然而，目前还没有免费的开源软件平台，可以为转化临床研究人员在培训、规划或指导医疗干预时原型化实验VR场景提供全面支持。SlicerVR通过将VR功能集成到已有的医学图像分析和可视化平台3D Slicer中，实现一键式虚拟现实体验。它提供了导航和操纵虚拟场景的功能，以及各种设置来减轻晕动病的感觉。SlicerVR允许本地和远程共享协作VR体验。我们展示了用SlicerVR在广泛应用中创建的说导性场景，包括超声心动图、神经外科、脊柱外科、近距离治疗、干预培训和个性化患者教育。SlicerVR是在BSD类型许可下免费提供的3D Slicer扩展，在撰写本文时已被下载超过7,800次。
Virtual reality (VR) provides immersive visualization that has proved to be useful in a variety of medical applications. Currently, however, no free open-source software platform exists that would provide comprehensive support for translational clinical researchers in prototyping experimental VR scenarios in training, planning or guiding medical interventions. By integrating VR functions in 3D Slicer, an established medical image analysis and visualization platform, SlicerVR enables virtual reality experience by a single click. It provides functions to navigate and manipulate the virtual scene, as well as various settings to abate the feeling of motion sickness. SlicerVR allows for shared collaborative VR experience both locally and remotely. We present illustrative scenarios created with SlicerVR in a wide spectrum of applications, including echocardiography, neurosurgery, spine surgery, brachytherapy, intervention training and personalized patient education. SlicerVR is freely available under BSD type license as an extension to 3D Slicer and it has been downloaded over 7,800 times at the time of writing this article.
