Immersive Navigation in Augmented Reality
The VisAR platform from Novarad, which was recently approved by the FDA for precision-guided spine surgery, transforms a patient’s pre-op imaging data into a 3D hologram that’s superimposed onto the surgical field. Surgeons don Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 optical visor to view the information in real time during surgery without having to divert their attention from the patient. Operating room set-up time is less than two minutes and the system boasts a sub-2mm accuracy for pedicle screw placement in open and minimally invasive surgical procedures. Novarad says the platform makes precise spine surgery more accessible and economical.
