Conclusion: The application effectively communicated the location and motion of upper abdominal organs, emphasising their relationship to the pancreas. AR applications could effectively communicate radiotherapy information to pancreatic cancer patients and serve as a model for future AR tools in radiotherapy.

For individuals, this can lead to long-term functional and psychosocial sequelae. Patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) was used to develop research aiming to minimise FA in CCS by 1) optimisation of paediatric HN-radiotherapy (HNRT), and 2) improved methods to evaluate and report FA.
