Avatar Medical’s software platform for processing CT and MR images into three-dimensional (3D) anatomical models has obtained US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance.

Known as Avatar Medical Vision, the software converts CT and MR imaging data into spatial, multi-dimensional representations that can be viewed across standard operating room displays, glasses-free 3D systems, and virtual reality (VR) environments. 

Applicable for imaging across procedural modalities such as neurosurgery and interventional radiology, Avatar explained that the software gives physicians the ability to move beyond ‘flat’ interpretations of 3D image interpretation towards working directly with patient-specific anatomy in 3D.
