Future of Medical Imaging: Demos

Augmented reality is finally here. Designed from the ground up with ENT surgeon feedback and key opinion leaders (KOL) insight, our TGS Navigation System offers standard-of-care EM technology combined with groundbreaking Scopis augmented reality to provide you with real time navigation. A special instrument guidance and notification system helps guide your endoscopic instruments on pathways directly to the targets. This innovation gives you confidence to see more and do more for your patients

Intuitive Surgical is the world-leader in robotic-assisted surgery and its' da Vinci Surgical Systems were used in approximately 1 million procedures in 2018. The Company is committed to improving patient care through the use of robotic-assisted technologies, tools and services. The immersive console presents a high definition stereoscopic view of an endoscopic video stream and allows input of a variety of augmented views in a picture-in-picture type display. In addition, fluorescence imaging in the near-infrared region provides a mixed reality environment that helps to augment the surgeon’s senses. Scientists and engineers at Intuitive have been exploring the use of commercial XR devices to see how they may impact operating room workflow, training and efficiencies. |

The Novarad® Opensight® augmented reality system is a unique pre-surgical planning solution built upon the company’s vast experience with image processing. Using OpenSight, clinicians can interactively create 2D, 3D, and even 4D images of patient anatomy, accurately overlaying them directly onto the patient’s body in order to enable accurate registration for surgical planning. Combining patented virtual tool technology with an integrated targeting system enables physicians to see the patient in real time while simultaneously visualizing into the patient, resulting in a more accurate surgical plan.

At Sira Medical, we empower surgeons, trainees, and patients by creating patient-specific, high fidelity 3D Augmented Reality models for interactive surgical planning, training, and patient education. Our comprehensive technological solutions can help hospitals decrease operating room time and surgical complications through improved surgical planning using Augmented Reality to view 3D medical images. Our platform has a wide range of features that were created with an aim to help doctors plan surgeries more effectively. We are continually building upon its technology, in order to empower our users to continue to make the most of medical imaging

Depression affects more than 16 million American adults and more than half of all depression patients do not respond to medication. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an important anti-depressant treatment option that targets specific brain circuits responsible for mood and behavior. TMS efficacy and risk is strongly linked to correct TMS coil placement and can be significantly improved by accurate neuronavigation. In a collaboration between the Incubator for Medical Mixed and Extended Reality at Stanford (IMMERS) and the Psychiatry department we are developing a mixed reality TMS neuronavigation setup that allows to clinician to target brain areas of interest in a single immersive environment. |

Our vision is to provide an accessible mobile/web interface for anyone to interact with our lab's AI projects in medical imaging. Xray4All.comsupports multiple tasks such as X-ray and histopathology slide analysis. Our platform analyzes your uploaded images on a secure cloud backend and provides a probabilistic interpretation for different medical conditions. You can also "teach" our AI agents by providing labeled images or correcting its reported interpretations. |

The company offers solutions for imaging core facilities, multi-center studies, and clinical imaging research applications. Flywheel customers include leading research institutions, research hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Zebra Medical's mission is to provide radiologists the tools they need to make the next leap in patient care. The demand for medical imaging services is continuously increasing, outpacing the supply of qualified radiologists and stretching them to produce more output, without compromising patient care. Only by adopting new technology that significantly enhances the capabilities of radiologists, can this crisis be mitigated. Zebra is empowering radiologists with its revolutionary AI1 offering which helps health providers manage the ever increasing workload without compromising quality. |

In this demo we are showcasing NVIDIA’s Clara AI toolkit and how research scientists, radiologists & developers can build, adapt and deploy AI for Medical Imaging workflows using our SDKs for creating annotated datasets, fine-tuning pre-trained models, and deploying scalable AI applications in a hospital infrastructure. |

The Interactive Commons at Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic have been developing a suite of tools to teach human anatomy based on Mixed Reality. HoloAnatomy aims to expand the current traditional methods of teaching anatomy that utilize human cadavers and flat illustrations. This suite allows a group of 50 or more students to see and study the human body together in an interactive classroom. The holographic digital presentation of the physical body systems allows dynamic interaction and 3D immersion with anatomical structures modeled to emulate living tissue. |

Scientific researchers now utilize advanced microscopes to collect very large volumes of image data. These volumes often contain morphologically complex structures that can be difficulty to comprehend on a 2D monitor, even with 3D projection. syGlass is a software stack designed specifically for the visualization, exploration, and annotation of very large image volumes in virtual reality. This technology provides crucial advantages to exploring 3D volumetric data by correctly leveraging neurological processes and pipelines in the visual cortex, reducing cognitive load and search times, while increasing insight and annotation accuracy. Finally, the inclusion of multiplayer and a fast keyframe movie making system makes communication of scientific concepts easier.

The Anatomage Table is a virtual dissection table used in all levels of healthcare education. From high schools for anatomy instruction to medical schools and simulation centers as a radiology case review and surgical planning tool, the Table offers innovative solutions for visualizing real human anatomy. Since its conception, Anatomage has been a leading medical device company driving innovation in the healthcare and medical imaging industries.

TriPointLab offers mobile, AR and VR solutions for delivering customized, just-in-time anatomy content to their students at the point of learning. Off-the-shelf anatomy publishers have not been able to provide an efficient means to develop and author curated 3D digital examples that directly correlate to the sequence of learning objectives in a given course. Our segmentation and layering tools enable faculty to deconstruct highly complex three- dimensional anatomical models and directly tie the content to learning outcomes and objectives.Through the use of VR, students around the world can have an immersive anatomy experience where access to cadaveric specimens is rare or nonexistent. |
