Abstract
The term 3D cursor has been used in the computer graphics industry for quite some time; however, in recent years, it has also been used in the medical field. In medicine, the term 3D cursor has been used to describe a user’s hands, hand-controllers, a 2D cursor that can travel in 3D space, and a volume-subtending 3D cursor. In this article, we perform a systematic review of the medical literature of the term “3D cursor” and discuss the applications in the fields of diagnostic radiology and surgery. We discuss the important applications of the 3D cursor the use of a 3D cursor in combination with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in medicine.
