Dive into the details of neuroanatomy. The Mixed Reality Viewer1 is a technology that works in tandem with Brainlab Elements to produce hyper-realistic 3D patient data. Easy to integrate into surgical planning workflows, this software offers a fully immersive environment for surgeons to understand, visualize and prepare for neurosurgical cases.

1

Enhanced surgical planningreview with patient-specific 3D data

The Mixed Reality Viewer gathers all relevant medical images and patient-specific anatomical structures to produce accurate and detailed 3D models. With the 3D anatomy displayed through the Magic Leap 2 device, surgeons can prepare for procedures by examining, reviewing and interacting with the data.

2

Increased access to immersivelearning

Hands-on, collaborative and accessible medical education starts with the Mixed Reality Viewer. Both residents and medical students can benefit from the immersive 3D environment and gain deeper insights into patient anatomy.

3

Individual patient treatmentplans move from screen to reality

Brain operations are highly complex procedures. The Mixed Reality Viewer can thereby be used to answer patient questions by clearly depicting individual diagnoses and surgical treatment plans.

Explore the features of mixed reality for neurosurgery

When it comes to neurosurgical procedures, mixed reality technology enables healthcare professionals to gain a better understanding of a patient’s brain—layer by layer. This includes gaining insights into the location of a deep-seated tumor and identifying critical surrounding anatomical structures like the optical nerve, brainstem and fiber tracts.

Mixed Reality Viewer for neuro-oncology

  • Position the 3D patient model at the preferred operating angle, simulate the craniotomy and review the planned trajectory to the tumor.

  • Overlay and scroll through 2D data on the 3D model along the trajectory path to view the structures at risk from any angle, providing awareness of the anatomical spatial surroundings.

  • Increase understanding of functional anatomy and vascular structures around the tumor and their displacement in relation to the planned approach before entering the O.R.

  • Benefit from having the same 3D model available on a navigation system intraoperatively.

Mixed Reality Viewer for vascular neurosurgery

  • Combine the power of Elements Image Fusion Angio, Elements SmartBrush Angio and the Mixed Reality Viewer to review a patient’s vasculature.

  • Outline the size of a craniotomy, transfer points and measurements during planning review from the Mixed Reality Viewer to the patient data for intraoperative use.

  • Anticipate the size and positioning of a vascular clip before entering the O.R. by understanding the pathology through hyperrealistic three-dimensional visualization.
