“Integration of Digital Visualization and Augmented Reality in Surgical Microscopes”
- Digital visualization and augmented reality are transforming surgical microscopes by offering enhanced real-time imaging and anatomical overlays
- These technologies support complex surgeries with greater accuracy, particularly in neurosurgery and spine surgery where visibility is crucial
- For instance, Zeiss’s KINEVO 900 and Leica’s ARveo platform integrate 3D imaging and AR to assist surgeons during delicate procedures
- Hospitals benefit from improved surgical outcomes and reduced complications due to better intraoperative guidance
- Academic centers also use these systems for training, allowing real-time video sharing and immersive learning experiences for medical students and residents
