Revolutionizing Surgery: Medivis Introduces SurgicalAR, a Cutting-Edge AR Surgical Platform

Medivis, a cutting-edge medical technology company from New York, NY, USA, has introduced SurgicalAR, an innovative image-guided visual operating system that revolutionizes surgical workflows. This AR surgical platform is a significant leap forward in surgical technology by converting complex 2D medical imaging data into 3D interactive visualizations based on actual patient DICOM scans.

Surgeons can now use Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 head-mounted display (HMD) to superimpose these 3D visuals onto the patient’s body, providing them with a clear understanding of the anatomy they are working on. This innovative technology eliminates the need for surgeons to look away from the patient during procedures, offering a more intuitive and accurate approach to surgery.

SurgicalAR offers various registration modes for quicker and more efficient preoperative planning, including AI-based Automatic Registration for speed and accuracy, Trace Registration for manual precision, and Landmark Registration for anatomical reliability. Additionally, surgeons can visualize the model-based surgical plan using the STL model importer, allowing them to see a customized 3D representation right in front of them.

Dr. Christopher Morley, President and co-founder of Medivis stated that merging augmented reality with medical imaging and computer-assisted surgery represents a transformative era in real-time decision making and is a pivotal moment in the evolution of healthcare technology. The overarching trends are clear, and our dedication to making augmented reality a standard of care is at the forefront of what’s next.” This AR technology offers sub-millimeter accuracy which potentially reduces risks and improves patient outcomes in procedures like brain tumor removal. This advancement in surgical technology enhances precision and confidence during operations marking a new era in healthcare technology.
