Photorealistic 3D XR Viewer for Enhanced Surgical Planning and Precision

healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine being able to step inside a patient's body using a high-tech headset before the first cut is made. Instead of squinting at flat 2D scans, surgeons can see a lifelike 3D map where they can toggle organs or blood vessels on and off. It's like having a GPS for the human body that helps doctors find the exact path to a tumor or artery.

The business problem

What needed solving

Surgeons often struggle to interpret 2D medical images, leading to overly invasive procedures and inefficient surgical planning. This gap in visualization reduces hospital productivity and increases patient risk.

The solution

What was built

A photorealistic Extended Reality (XR) viewer for 3D medical images (MRI, CT) powered by machine learning algorithms for real-time patient representation modification.

Who can put this to work

Healthcare Technology
mid-size
Target: Medical Imaging Software Provider

If you are a software provider dealing with the limitations of 2D MRI and CT interpretations — this project developed a photorealistic XR viewer that allows surgeons to modify patient representations in real-time for better decision making.

Hospital Management
enterprise
Target: Private Surgical Clinic

If you are a clinic dealing with growing demand for surgery and limited operating room time — this project developed a productivity tool that streamlines preoperative planning to increase hospital productivity without needing new personnel.

Medical Device Manufacturing
enterprise
Target: Orthopedic Implant Manufacturer

If you are a manufacturer dealing with imprecise implant fitting due to poor imaging — this project developed a 3D avatar system that visualizes muscles and bones to allow better planning of orthopedic surgeries.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing model for this solution?

Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the solution is designed to provide productivity gains without requiring hospitals to invest in new equipment.

Can this be scaled to an industrial level across multiple hospitals?

Yes, the system supports high-fidelity local or Cloud-based render streaming, which facilitates deployment across different medical facilities.

What is the IP or licensing status of the machine learning algorithms?

Based on available project data, the project utilizes breakthrough human-in-the-loop machine learning algorithms, but specific licensing terms are not disclosed.

How does this integrate with existing hospital workflows?

The solution integrates preoperative and intraoperative data, allowing surgeons to use MRI and CT-scans within a photorealistic XR environment.

What is the timeline for full commercial availability?

The project period runs from 2023-06-01 to 2025-08-31, suggesting the solution is currently in the development and refinement phase.
