Problem
Surgeons and interventional clinicians often rely on 2D medical images, which can make it difficult to fully understand complex patient anatomy and to plan procedures with confidence. This limitation can increase operative time, reduce precision, and elevate the risk of complications, especially in intricate surgeries such as congenital heart repairs.
Solution
Realize Medical offers Elucis, an FDA‑cleared virtual reality platform that transforms standard imaging datasets into immersive, patient‑specific 3D models. Clinicians can wear a VR headset to explore anatomy spatially, manipulate structures, and simulate procedural steps in a realistic environment. The system supports collaborative sessions, allowing multiple users to view and discuss the same model simultaneously, which enhances multidisciplinary planning. By providing an intuitive, hands‑on view of the target anatomy, Elucis aims to improve surgical confidence, reduce intra‑operative surprises, and streamline workflow from pre‑operative planning to intra‑operative guidance.
Target Audience
Primary users are surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and other procedural specialists who require detailed anatomical insight for pre‑operative planning, as well as hospital teams seeking to adopt immersive visualization tools for complex cases.
