Methods and materials
Standard DICOM network protocols and settings were used to connect a Windows 10 PC computer running a CarnaLife Holo software (MedApp, Cracow, Poland; Fig.3) to a variety of imaging modalities directly (CT, MRI, 3DRA) or indirectly (via PACS).
DICOM OFFIS Toolkit (OFFIS e.V., Germany) "storescp" service was used to manage incoming images storage on a PC.
CarnaLife Holo software was automatically activated and instantly loaded the DICOM datasets right upon 3D image series arrival.
The ad-hoc created 3D volume rendered data were instantly streamed to the MS HoloLens system by means of Microsoft Holographic Remoting software. Fig.4.
This approach resulted in holographic medical content beeing displayed directly to the user on HoloLens system immediately upon DICOM data arrival.
