Problem
Soft-tissue surgeries, such as tumor resections, often lack precise intraoperative visualization of subsurface anatomical structures, leading to inaccurate resections and increased risk to critical tissues. Current surgical planning relies on preoperative imaging, which may not accurately reflect the deformed anatomy encountered during surgery. This can result in longer procedure times and suboptimal patient outcomes.
Solution
Twinical provides a surgical planning and navigation platform that leverages high-fidelity Digital Twins and augmented reality (AR) to enhance visualization and precision during soft-tissue surgeries. By creating a 3D virtual replica of the patient's organ, the platform allows surgeons to understand the location of tumors and critical anatomical details more easily. During the procedure, the AR framework overlays the Digital Twin onto the surgical field, making organs transparent and allowing surgeons to see inner anatomical details and how they evolve when deformed. This real-time visual guidance improves surgical accuracy and safety.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes surgeons specializing in soft-tissue surgeries, particularly those performing tumor resections in complex anatomical regions, as well as hospitals and surgical centers seeking to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes.
