Medical Imaging Solutions
We make custom digital 3D models from medical scans.
Medical scans are black and white 2D slices. This makes them fantastic for diagnosis but difficult to use to plan surgery.
We convert these 2D slices into coloured 3D models showing all the detail surgeons need to plan complex surgery. Unlike physical models, we include both soft and hard tissue.
We can deliver your model within 24hrs, we use nhs.net security and you can see your models on your smart phone/computer/smart glasses.
As a patient, it will allow you to better understand your body and the treatment your doctors plan.
In this 3D model, you can see the purple tumour, the external carotid artery in red, digastric muscle in brown and facial bones in cream. We can see that the there is no facial nerve branch superficial to the tumour. This will simplify the dissection over the tumour.
planning surgery from 2D medical imaging slices can be difficult, especially for complex and detailed cases
Advocating for minimally invasive surgery
Minimally invasive surgery allows safe curative surgery through smaller incisions and less damage to surrounding structures. This is never more important than in the head and neck. Where even the smallest scars have great implications. And every inch of anatomy has important nerves and blood vessels.
Prof Mark McGurk has long been an advocate for minimally invasive surgery. With the introduction of extra-capsular dissection, sentinel lymph node biopsy and now Augmented Reality guided surgery.
3D models will allow surgeons to anticipate the structures they will encounter during surgery. This gives surgeons the road map, knowing where to go, where to avoid with confidence.
