Surgical Theater

Surgical Theater is committed to providing virtual reality based healthcare services that bring enterprise-wide value to its partners. The company integrates cutting-edge "fighter jet flight simulation skill sets" to redefine medical imaging and visualization capabilities that empower both patients and physicians throughout the treatment continuum. Surgical Theater's imaging platform combines and enhances data from CT, MR and DTI scans to create a comprehensive, 3D virtual reconstruction for various levels of interaction and immersion facilitating a virtual tour inside the patients' own anatomy. These reconstructed scans then allow physicians to detail their patients' pathologies in ways never before possible, and view them on a dedicated high-definition monitor, a tablet, or by using virtual reality goggles. Surgical Theater's VR medical visualization platform, Precision VR, takes input from conventional 2D patient scans (CT, MRI, DTI, etc.) to power an integrated portfolio of products designed for multiple clinical environments within the treatment continuum. Virtual Reality Surgical Planner (SRP) SuRgical Planner accesses files from a patient's traditional image modalities, such as CT or MRI scans, and processes the information to create patient-specific, VR reconstructions to help a neurosurgeon plan surgery, and educate the patient about their neurological condition. These reconstructions can be seen using a VR headset, such as Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, enabling surgeons to fly through the brain and locate medical issues such as a tumor or an aneurysm and study it from every angle with our medical virtual reality services. Precision VR viewer Available in a wall mount viewer and tablet options, this patient-engagement tool is becoming an intricate part of a surgeon's clinic. The Precision VR viewer brings the patient-specific VR reconstructions directly to the patient. It vastly improves upon the conventional method of the neurosurgeon pointing out the tumor or vascular abnormality on a flat, black-and-white 2D image used in most medical facilities. Surgical Navigation Advanced Platform (SNAP) The Surgical Navigation Advanced Platform, or SNAP, enhances the surgeon's current operating room workflow by integrating with and enhancing the existing surgical navigation system along with other tools and technologies while using the capabilities of Precision VR. SNAP enables surgeons to apply patient-specific surgical plans during actual surgeries with the ability to see and know what comes next in the surgical field. It can show each planned step onscreen, so the surgeon can synchronize their movements in order to potentially perform the safest, most minimally-invasive procedures possible. VR STudio VR STudio is a collaborative networked, multi-user, multi-disciplinary environment powered by Precision VR to allow for dynamic patient-specific case review, presentations and education. Instead of desks and chairs, students in the VR STudio sit in comfortable recliners and slip on their VR headsets as they enter into the patient- and pathology-specific VR reconstructions. Surgical Theater's enterprise-wide visualization platform is advancing neurosurgery at some of the top academic hospitals, including UCLA, New York University, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, Mount Sinai, and now, Stanford University.
