Interactive 3D technology reveals hidden tumors during surgery
Tumors beneath the surface of the liver can be difficult to locate during laparoscopic, or keyhole, surgery.
AI Summary
A new augmented‑reality system projects a three‑dimensional model of hidden liver tumors onto the surgeon’s camera view during laparoscopic procedures, allowing the tumor and surrounding anatomy to be visualized as if the liver were semitransparent. The overlay updates in real time as the camera moves, helping surgeons locate lesions that are otherwise difficult to see through keyhole incisions. The technology was developed by Torbjörn Lundh, a professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg.
