November 15, 2021 —Realize Medical, creators ofElucis, an all-in-one virtual reality platform for medical modeling, visualization and remote collaboration, announces their first in-person exhibit atRSNAin Chicago.
Elucis was developed at theOttawa Hospital来解决3D打印的局限性。
“There are several reasons 3D printing is not more widespread and primarily only done in large major academic hospitals. We want to change that and make patient-specific 3D models more accessible to all healthcare professionals and their patients.” said CEO Justin Sutherland.
One of the first steps in creating 3D models of patient anatomy is segmenting the region of interest (ROI). It’s also one of the most time-consuming aspects of the process. While many modeling software platforms provide automatic segmentation tools, patient anatomy is often atypical, so automatic segmentation fails. In these cases, radiologists must manually segment each layer of that image, which takes a long time. Elucis addresses this by providing true 3D user input, so clinicians have full control of the creation process, reducing the time to create 3D models to minutes, even for rare anatomy.
另一个挑战是打印机和消耗品的成本，以及寻找使用复杂软件的专业人员。为放射科医生和临床医生设计，Elucis提供了数字模型，而不失去3D的好处。事实上，虚拟现实消除了现实世界的许多限制。你可以把解剖结构做得足够大，可以在里面行走，把部分解剖结构做得透明，并立即与世界上任何地方的任何人共享模型。
医疗3D打印专家也强调了位于外科医生附近的重要性。有了Elucis，您就可以与世界各地的利益相关者讨论3D模型，而且还能感觉到自己坐在他们旁边。
“The only way you can truly understand the benefits of VR (and Elucis) is by experiencing it first-hand,” said VP Sales and Operations Sonya Deveau. “The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digitization of healthcare and the adoption of mixed reality in hospitals, and now that we have the opportunity for in-person conferences to resume, we can finally show thousands of medical professionals the power of Elucis.”
