Record completeness
Claims
In a controlled user study (n=34), the proposed sonification achieved high retinal layer identification accuracy and robust detection of retinal deformation-related events, significantly outperforming a state-of-the-art baseline in overall event identification (83.4% vs. 60.6%, p < 0.001), with gains driven primarily by enhanced detection of injection-induced retinal deformation.
The assumption that the physics-inspired acoustic model driven by segmented retinal layers and needle motion accurately represents real tissue interactions and that results from the controlled user study will translate to live surgical conditions with actual patients and operating-room constraints.
A physics-inspired sonification framework maps segmented iOCT retinal layers and needle motion to auditory signals, raising event identification accuracy from 60.6% to 83.4% in a 34-person user study for subretinal injection guidance.
