This AR platform lets surgeons ‘see through’ the human body in real-time

A neurosurgeon and a radiologist have developed an AR platform that lets see through the human body. This platform allows you to visualize the inside of the human body, offering a groundbreaking way to see beyond the surface.

Osamah Choudhry and Christopher Morley have developed the SurgicalAR platform. The main goal of the developers is to improve surgical navigation. 

Medivis’ SurgicalAR technology has many unique features, such as 3D visualization, real-time holographic rendering, cross-compatibility, virtual GPS, data privacy, etc. These unique features improve the outcomes. 

For medical professionals, hospitals, health systems, medical researchers, innovators, and surgical robotics systems, this AR technology will be beneficial. 

Unique features and functionality

Medical documents such as MRI scans and CT scans are two-dimensional; these data are converted into 3D models by the advanced algorithms and AI of Mendvis’ software. This software processes the data and interprets the information to construct 3D models. 

The augmented reality (AR) headset helps to visualize the 3D models during the surgery, and the hologram helps to see the model in real time. This live guidance provides more clarity and necessary decision support. 

This software can process and ensure large amounts of data quickly and create 3D models. Edge Computing processes the data on-site without any unnecessary delays. 

The SurgicalAR system has the ability to integrate fresh and latest data and processes into the 3D module immediately.  

Key benefits

The SurgicalAR system allows the surgeons to observe complex anatomy from various angles, and it will help to understand more about the critical structures. 

By using the remote collaboration, surgeons can view the 3D models from anywhere. Multi-surgeons can work together in critical surgeries, and it will ensure the patient’s benefits. 

Medical students and residents can benefit from the interactive 3D modules by developing essential skills before surgeries. This system reduces the potential errors and improves outcomes. 

To sum it up, a neurosurgeon and a radiologist, Osamah Choudhry and Christopher Morley, have developed an AR platform that lets you see through the human body. This system will be a breakthrough in the medical field and provide improved patient outcomes.
