    The study evaluates the use of immersive VR technology for assessing the resectability of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

  • 2

    Specto VR™ software enables real-time rendering of CT and MRI data into interactive 3D models for enhanced anatomical understanding.

  • 3

    Current resectability assessment of PDAC relies on 2D imaging, which presents challenges due to low inter-observer agreement.

  • 4

    The study involves clinicians assessing anatomical structures in VR, aiming to improve the accuracy of vascular involvement evaluation.

  • 5

    Ethical approval was obtained, and participants included trained abdominal surgeons and radiologists from multiple institutions.
