Unlocking the Power of Medical Images for Surgeons

Project description

Machine learning and visualisation techniques for surgical solution

Surgeons rely on medical images to make critical decisions. Poorly interpreted MRIs and CT scans can result in unnecessary surgeries, more invasive procedures and slower recoveries. The ERC-funded AVATAR project introduces a revolutionary surgical solution as a highly effective productivity tool for medical specialists and surgeons. It features the first-ever photorealistic XR viewer of 3D medical images, powered by advanced machine learning algorithms and data visualisation techniques. The project aims to improve medical decision-making without investing in new equipment or personnel. Thanks to high-fidelity local or cloud-based rendering, the solution is the first to seamlessly integrate preoperative and intraoperative data, while clinical applications guide surgeons in planning and implementing specific procedures.

Objective

Surgeons depend on medical images to make difficult decisions. MRIs and CT-scans that are difficult to interpret can lead to unnecessary surgeries, more invasive operations and slower recoveries.
The AVATAR surgery solution is a groundbreaking productivity tool for surgeons and medical specialists. It is the first photorealistic XR viewer of 3D medical images, based on innovative machine learning algorithms and data visualization techniques, with the express objective of enhancing medical decision making.
Through high-fidelity local or Cloud-based render streaming, AVATAR will be the first solution to meet surgeon expectations for seamless preoperative and intraoperative data integration. Our Clinical Applications will assist surgeons in planning and implementing specific procedures.
For hospitals struggling to manage growing demand for surgery, AVATAR promises to provide valuable productivity gains without investing in new equipment or personnel.
