| Abstract: | Because of the remarkably improved image quality and wearability of modern head‐mounted displays, a monitoring system using a head‐mounted display rather than a fixed‐site monitor for sonographic scanning has the potential to improve the diagnostic performance and lessen the examiner's physical burden during a sonographic examination. In a preclinical setting, 2 head‐mounted displays, the HMZ‐T2 (Sony Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and the Wrap1200 (Vuzix Corporation, Rochester, NY), were found to be applicable to sonography. In a clinical setting, the feasibility of the HMZ‐T2 was shown by its good image quality and acceptable wearability. This modern device is appropriate for clinical use in sonography. |
