Olympus Corp. has introduced its first AI-driven surgical planning tool through a partnership with Ziosoft, a medical imaging software company. The technology uses AI to convert CT and MR scans into real-time 3D models, aiming to enhance surgical precision for liver, lung, and kidney procedures.
The application is designed to improve visualization and planning for specific surgical specialties:
Thoracic surgery: Creates 3D lung models to aid in cancer treatment planning.
Liver surgery: Helps surgeons assess anatomy, visualize blood vessels and tumors, and plan liver-sparing procedures.
Urologic surgery: Supports minimally invasive nephrectomies by mapping tumor size and location.
“Physicians traditionally utilized flat, 2D images to plan procedures. This new application uses imaging such as CT and MR scans to translate static...
