3D Robotic Surgical Imaging System

A new, glasses-free three-dimensional (3D) display of robotic surgery procedures in real time has been successfully accomplished.

At the Henry Ford Hospital Vattikuti Urology Clinic (Birmingham, MI, USA), a pioneer in the use of robotic surgery centers and the use of three-dimensional display of surgical procedures with the aid of special eyewear, provided a successful demonstration of the LifeVision 3D system, which allows a surgeon to observe procedures in real time and full-color without the encumbrance of special glasses that can fog, slip, or interfere with normal viewing.

This demonstration provided "proof of concept” that images captured by cameras mounted to surgical microscopes can be successfully transmitted to LifeVision3D display monitor and be seen volumetrically and in real time. Three-dimensional display provides depth perception to the surgeon that is necessary to perform the less-invasive robotic surgery, which minimizes patient trauma and contributes to a faster recovery. "This demonstration proves unequivocally that holography can provide the highest resolution images anywhere,” stated Jim Fischbach, CEO, Intrepid Defense & Security Systems (Birmingham, MI, USA). "I am truly excited about the benefit this brings to remote and robotic surgery.”

3D display of medical procedures can benefit telemedicine applications in diagnostics, injury treatment, and remote consultation in healthcare and military conditions. Intrepid Defense & Security Systems is the exclusive licensed system integrator of LifeVision3D extreme high-resolution visualization systems for defense and protection applications and telemedicine. The company provides autostereoscopic 3D display systems and the ability to record, transmit, and display real time 3D video.
