In this article, you will discover how Dr. Joshua Bederson and his team in Mount Sinai Hospital (NYC) use immersive technologies to prepare ans operate complex brain surgeries. The use of “Surgical Theater” software gives surgeons a 360° vision of the patient and is linked to a Occulus VR helmet to see “inside” the brain. It’s a way to limit the workload for the surgeon.
The new technology includes a program called Surgical Theater, which uses CT and MR scans to create a 3-D reconstruction of the patient’s anatomy, and navigation software from Brainlab, giving Bederson what feel like superpowers to see through tissues and around corners while piloting his instruments through the brain.
