| Abstract |
We developed a touchless display system that allows the user to control the medical imaging software via hand gestures in the air. We conducted this study to verify the effectiveness of this novel touchless display system as a tool for assisting with surgical imaging. The patient's computed tomography (CT) data are generally observed on a display during surgery. The "Dr. aeroTAP" touchless display system was developed to generate virtual mouse events based on the position of one hand. We conducted comparative analyses of using the Dr. aeroTAP vs. using a regular mouse (control group) by measuring the time to select a 3D image from 24 thumbnail images on a screen (study 1) and to then see the CT image on the DICOM viewer (study 2). We used the Dr. aeroTAP in 31 hepato-biliary operative procedures performed at our hospital. In study 1, which measured the time required to select one of 24 thumbnails, there were significant differences between the mouse and Dr. aeroTAP groups for all five surgeons who participated (P < 0.001). In study 2, there were also significant differences in the time required for CT DICOM images to be displayed (P < 0.001). The touchless interface proved efficient for allowing the observation of surgical images while maintaining a sterile field during surgery. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 November 2019.
All research outputs
#7,281,612
of 22,973,051 outputs
Outputs from Surgery Today
#118
of 993 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#115,117
of 311,973 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgery Today
#4
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,973,051 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 993 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 311,973 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
