Abstract
Head-mounted displays have been tested in various medical fields. According to some results, using a head-mounted display makes medical operations faster, more effective and accurate than using a conventional table display. In this study we aimed to examine midwives experiences of using a head-mounted display during an ultrasound scan. Our preliminary results indicate that a head-mounted display in an ultrasound scan could work better than the conventional method which is still in common use. We also noticed that the use of a monocular head-mounted display was more comfortable than a see-through display.
