The primary aim of this study is to compare diagnostic performance for detecting diverticulitis on CT between radiologists using a headset versus a desktop. The secondary aim is to survey participating radiologists about the usage of both devices. This pilot study retrospectively included 110 patients (mean age 64\u2009\u00b1\u200914 years, 62 women) who had abdomen\/pelvis CT scans for which the report mentioned the presence or absence of diverticulitis. Scans were dichotomized and matched by time, for a total of 55 cases with diverticulitis and 55 controls with no diverticulitis. Six radiologists were oriented to the VR\/AR headset (Apple Vision Pro) and viewer app (Visage Ease VP) using ten scans. They each scored 100 unknown scans on a 6-level scale for diverticulitis (1\u2009=\u2009no diverticulitis, 6\u2009=\u2009diverticulitis) on the headset and then on a desktop. Time\u00a0per\u00a0case was recorded. Finally, they completed a survey using 5-level scales about the ease of use of the headset and viewer app (1\u2009=\u2009difficult, 5\u2009=\u2009easy), about their experience with the headset (1\u2009=\u2009bad, 5\u2009=\u2009good), and about their preference between devices (1\u2009=\u2009desktop, 5\u2009=\u2009headset). Summary statistics and multi-reader multi-case ROC curves were calculated. The AUC (and 95% confidence interval) for diverticulitis was 0.93 (0.88\u20130.97) with the headset and 0.94 (0.91\u20130.98) with the desktop (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.40). The median (and first-third quartiles) of time\u00a0per\u00a0case was 57 (41\u201376) seconds for the headset and 31 (22\u201364) seconds for the desktop (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Average survey scores ranged from 3.3 to 5 for ease of use, from 3 to 4.7 for experience, and from 2.2 to 3.3 for preference. Diagnostic performance for detecting diverticulitis on CT was similar between the next-generation VR\/AR headset and desktop. Ease of use, experience, and preference varied across different aspects of the devices and among radiologists.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10278-024-01292-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,4]],"date-time":"2024-11-04T11:02:40Z","timestamp":1730718160000},"page":"3271-3278","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Diagnostic Performance of a Next-Generation Virtual\/Augmented Reality Headset: A Pilot Study of Diverticulitis on CT"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2563-3552","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul M.","family":"Murphy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie Y.","family":"An","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luke M.","family":"Wojdyla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adam C.","family":"Searleman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aman","family":"Khurana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas W.","family":"Loehfelm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathryn J.","family":"Fowler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher A.","family":"Longhurst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1292_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"38","DOI":"10.1007\/s10278-018-0122-7","volume":"32","author":"J Sutherland","year":"2019","unstructured":"Sutherland J, Belec J, Sheikh A, et al.
