OverviewInteractive 3D models for da Vinci surgical planning, patient education, and intraoperative reference. Surgeons can rotate, magnify, and adjust the transparency of anatomical models using familiar finger gestures. The service provides patient-specific 3D models generated from CT/MRI scans and delivered for viewing on iOS devices, computers, and the da Vinci surgeon console.
Ordering and accessSearch your hospital PACS and securely upload patient CT/MRI scans via the Intuitive 3D Models iOS app or web page. A unique, patient-specific 3D model is generated and delivered to the requesting clinician for preoperative planning, patient consultation, and intraoperative use.
Key benefits- Preoperative planning: gain spatial awareness of critical structures and disease to plan port placement and setup.
- Enhanced patient education: review and share the 3D model with patients to communicate the surgical plan.
- Intraoperative reference: integrate models into the da Vinci surgeon console to review plans without leaving the console.
- Collaboration: share models with peers or colleagues for second opinions.
- Measurement tools: measure distances in available images to support intraoperative decision making.
3D preoperative planningRotate, magnify, and adjust transparency to visualize procedures and plan port placement and setup. Manipulate the Intuitive 3D Model to improve spatial understanding of critical anatomy and disease.
Provide a patient-specific experienceUse the models during consultations to provide personalized, interactive explanations for patients. Share the 3D model with patients so they can communicate the plan with family members who could not attend the consult.
Complete surgical procedures as plannedIntuitive 3D Models can be integrated into the da Vinci surgeon console for a seamless workflow. Surgeons can access original multi-planar reconstructions alongside 3D models, save views during preoperative planning, change model transparency at the console, anchor the image to the surgical view for reference during critical parts of the procedure, and measure distances within available images. The service and integrations are available on dV5 systems and via the Intuitive 3D Models service.
