Surgery Rehearsal Platform with 3D Modeling

The Surgery Rehearsal Platform (SRP) transforms medical images into dynamic, interactive 3D models with life-like tissue reaction and accurate modeling of surgery tools. The SRP allows surgeons to plan and rehearse a specific patient's case. The tissue reacts realistically to actions taken by the surgeon, allowing accurate pre-surgery rehearsal and permitting surgeons to 'pre-live the future' of their cases.

    00:00:11 and this is the first time you're really able to take the very thing that you're going to do tomorrow rehearse it today and then be better able to deal with it and when you actually do it in a live patient so if I'm going to treat an aneurism or treat a tumor I know what it looks like I've seen the approach I'm going to use I know what's behind it what to be aware of and it makes me that

    00:00:32 much more prepared to deal with the surgery so as a surgeon now I'm not only seeing it but I'm changing the system you see I'm putting a clip in this is what I'd be doing at surgery so my hand will mimic what I do and as I go by the blood vessels you see they move a little bit which is what they normally do and if I move them too much obviously they'll rupture but now I have the clip

    00:00:51 in good position and now I can start to close it and you can see the aneurysm changing shape the neck gets smaller as it gets closed off and then that's what it looks like just when we do it surgery and then the aneurysm finally closes so what I've done now is I've placed the aneurysm clip and you can see it in place here pinching off the neck of the aneurysm what I want to know is have I

    00:01:12 left the normal blood vessels open because one of the mistakes I can make is closing off this blood supply to the normal brain instead of just to the aneurysm well at surgery I'm you know sort of stuck looking at it here or wondering or if I were just to practice in my mind's eye I wouldn't be able to know what I'm doing but here I can actually take the scene rotate it

    00:01:30 completely and say look now I can see that the aneurysm is closed off this blood vessel is open this is open and the clip is beyond the aneurysm neck which is exactly what I want to do this is almost a scene that I can't even see at surgery because I'm not able to really rotate the scene 360° like I can here so you can see now we're looking from the back side of the

    00:01:53 aneurysm and able to inspect it completely and I can say wow if I put the clip on just like that I'll know I've put it in the right place and I've done my job
