First ever FDA approved augmented reality pre-surgical imaging tool
Novarad HoloLens have collaborated to launch an OpenSight AR system which is the first ever FDA approved Augmented Reality pre-surgical imaging tool.The OpenSight runs on AR technology to give 2D, 3D and 4D patient images which can help doctors plan the surgery ahead more thoroughly as it gives dual side by side image, both of the patient as it is and their internals. Doctors can now use Microsoft HoloLens for specific, pre-operative purposes. The technology is going to be transformative as it will allow the doctors to have a full brief of the patients’ internals before they make the first incision.Novarad has also released the teaching version of OpenSight AR system to ease the medical students into the future. Students or other surgery attendees can witness the AR preparation first-hand, since the HoloLens experience can be shared among multiple headsets. No doubt FDA recognized Novarad’s efforts by clearing the OpenSight system for use. It is a complete medical package, designed to improve the precision and utility of medical practice.
