Onkos Surgical is working with Insight Medical Systems to use their ARVIS (Augmented Reality Visualization and Information System) in tumor surgery and musculoskeletal oncology.
The ARVIS technology, which is currently under development, has the ability to project virtual models of the patient’s anatomy during surgery so the surgeon can see anatomical structures beneath the surface, as well as the position of instruments. The ARVIS technology may allow physicians to perform less invasive surgery, reduce patient risk and improve outcomes.
“Augmented reality technology has the potential of simplifying the complex and providing surgeons with input and feedback that may improve the precision of surgical planning and interoperative workflow,” said Patrick Treacy, CEO and co-founder of Onkos.
