Project description
Surgeons rely on medical images to make critical decisions. Poorly interpreted MRIs and CT scans can result in unnecessary surgeries, more invasive procedures and slower recoveries. The ERC-funded AVATAR project introduces a revolutionary surgical solution as a highly effective productivity tool for medical specialists and surgeons. It features the first-ever photorealistic XR viewer of 3D medical images, powered by advanced machine learning algorithms and data visualisation techniques. The project aims to improve medical decision-making without investing in new equipment or personnel. Thanks to high-fidelity local or cloud-based rendering, the solution is the first to seamlessly integrate preoperative and intraoperative data, while clinical applications guide surgeons in planning and implementing specific procedures."
