SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurosurgeons who
are attending the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Annual
Meeting in San Francisco, CA, from
October 21st
-23rd will have the opportunity to experience Surgical
Theater's SynchronizAR™ intraoperative platform, which aligns
patient-specific Precision VR® reconstructions with a live optical
image from the surgical microscope. The Surgical Theater Booth #337
will feature SynchronizAR™, our latest innovation that facilitates
comprehensive mixed reality, offering surgeons the ability to view
hidden anatomical and vascular structures, pathologies, and DTI
white matter tracks, which are synchronized and aligned to the
surgeon's operative view.
"Surgical Theater has achieved yet another Neurosurgical first
with the creation of SynchronizAR™. This new intraoperative
platform provides visualization of critical case data without
changing operative methods, equipment, or shifting focus from the
operative field," said Moty Avisar,
CEO & Co-Founder of Surgical Theater. "By synchronizing our
360-degree Virtual Reality model with optical views from existing
surgical microscopes through neuronavigation, we've achieved the
first-and-only intraoperative comprehensive mixed reality platform
for Neurosurgery. The use of augmented reality within SynchronizAR™
allows surgeons to see the hidden structures behind the pathology,
such as an important blood vessel behind a tumor."
We are honored to have Gary
Steinberg, MD PhD, Chair of Neurosurgery at Stanford Health
as the keynote speaker for our event on Monday night, October 21st, "Virtual &
Augmented Reality across the Neurosurgical Treatment Continuum:
Perspectives from Masters, Mid, and Early Career
Neurosurgeons". The event also features Dr. Walter Jean, Professor of Neurosurgery at
George Washington University Hospital,
Dr. Robert Louis, Empower360 Endowed
Chair for Skull Base and Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, and Dr.
Jonathan Sherman, Associate
Professor of Neurosurgery and Director of Surgical Neuro-oncology
at The George Washington
University.
This first-of-its-kind event features four Neurosurgeons at
different points in their careers discussing the value they have
realized over several collective years utilizing Surgical Theater's
Virtual and Augmented Reality throughout the Neurosurgical
continuum of care.
Surgical Theater is proud to announce its in-booth presenters
for CNS 2019. Dr. Robert Louis,
Neurosurgeon and Program Director of the Skull Base and Pituitary
Tumor Program at Hoag Hospital, will be demonstrating SynchronizAR™
on Monday, October 21st at
9:45 am and 1:45 pm. Dr. Jonathan Sherman, Neurosurgeon and Director of
Surgical Neuro-Oncology at George Washington
University Hospital, will be presenting on Tuesday, October 22nd at 9:45am and 1:45pm
in booth #337.
Surgical Theater is pleased to announce the first 360VR™
Challenge happening at CNS. At booth #337, surgeons will
have the opportunity to view and plan a surgical approach with
standard 2D DICOM images and then compare and contrast their
approaches with Precision VR®, a 360-degree Virtual Reality
Visualization Platform.
The 2019 CNS Annual Meeting presents a course on "Virtual and
Augmented Reality: Science and Clinical Applications" on
Sunday, October 20th
between 12:45 pm and 4:15 pm with the
course ID of SYM15B. Dr. Walter Jean
will be featured as the Course Director, with notable thought
leaders in AR/VR applications in Neurosurgery Dr. Joshua Bederson and Dr. Robert Louis as confirmed speakers. This course
is the first of its kind in the history of CNS and will present a
great opportunity for any neurosurgeon to hear from multiple VR/AR
Pioneers on the power of virtual and augmented reality in the
medical landscape.
About Surgical Theater:
Surgical Theater, the market leader in virtual and augmented
reality healthcare services, is the first to combine cutting-edge
fighter jet flight simulation technology with a patient's own
anatomy scans. Rendered from comprehensive combined modalities of
CT, MRI as well as advanced post processing images such as DTI and
BOLD, the 360° virtual reality fly-through is designed to allow
surgeons to walk and fly-through a reconstruction of the patient's
own anatomy and pathology. Surgeons literally walk in the space
between the white matter tracks and the tumor, being fully
immersed, gaining unprecedented situational awareness and clarity
of assessment. By simply turning their head, the surgeon can
further explore the anatomy and plan the craniotomy, surgical path,
trajectory, corridor, and the entire surgical strategy. Find out
