Siemens Healthineers presents Cinematic Rendering and an app for Apple Vision Pro: the new frontier of 3D medical imaging

Siemens Healthineers presented its cutting-edge technology today at its Milan headquarters Cinematic renderingalong with a new application designed for Apple Vision Pro. This combination represents a revolutionary step in the field of ibecome a doctorallowing you to transform clinical data from CT scan and MRIs in photorealistic three-dimensional images, useful for diagnosis, surgical planning, medical training and communication with patients.

The technology Cinematic rendering Of Siemens transforms medical images into three-dimensional representations of extreme precision, with a graphic quality similar to that of cinema. Thanks to this advanced rendering system, you can view in detail fabrics, organs And anatomy compleximproving diagnostic accuracy and facilitating the planning of surgical interventions. Doctors and surgeons can analyze complex clinical cases with a level of detail never seen before, contributing to more accurate surgical choices, as in the case of less invasive operations. This, in turn, reduces patients’ recovery times and the overall duration of medical procedures.

Siemens has also launched an innovative application for Apple Vision Prothe first space computer of Applewhich allows you to view holograms 3D immersive images of the human body based on medical scans. Through the app, surgeons, medical students and patients can interactively explore anatomical images in three dimensions. The use of augmented reality allows you to magnify specific details, rotate images and better understand clinical conditions.

The app, available onApple App Storewas designed to take full advantage of the capabilities of Apple silicon and graphics Metaloffering a smooth and powerful experience without the need to connect to external devices. In addition to aiding surgical planning, this application revolutionizes medical education by allowing medical students to explore highly detailed holograms of human body and doctors to explain procedures to patients in a more understandable way.

Cristiano Zapfresponsible for the Digital and Automation sector of Siemens Healthineersstated: “This application offers people the opportunity to immerse themselves in a world of photorealistic renderings of the human anatomy. Apple Vision Pro is perfectly suited to present this three-dimensional experience, and we see great potential for clinical and educational use of the technology“.

Zap he also highlighted how the technology of 3D renderingcombined with the power of Apple’s augmented reality, can facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration between specialists from different areas, such as radiologists and surgeons, while also helping lay people, such as patients and general practitioners, to better understand scans and complex clinical conditions. Siemens Healthineers will offer the opportunity to directly try this innovation at its stand at the fair HIMSS in Orlando, Florida, March 12-14, 2024. Here, visitors will be able to experience the app’s capabilities for themselves on Apple Vision Pro and see how technology can improve both patient care and medical education.

“We have further optimized our existing algorithm to allow computationally intensive methods to run on the Apple Vision Pro M2 processor. The rendering technique is used to simulate how light interacts with objects in a virtual environment, producing a highly realistic lighting and reflections in the resulting images“he declared Sebastian Kruegerlead app developer at Siemens Healthineers.

Thanks to Cinematic rendering and integration with augmented reality devices such as Apple Vision Pro, Siemens Healthineers it is radically transforming the way clinical data is viewed and used. This new technology offers tangible benefits not only for doctors and surgeons, but also for patients, improving diagnosis, surgical planning and communication. The future potential of this technology promises to be revolutionary the entire medical landscapebringing clinical imaging and surgery into a new era of precision and interactivity.

The interview by Affaritaliani.it to Luca De Masi, Portfolio Sales Professional of Siemens Healthineers

On the sidelines of the event, Luca De MasiPortfolio Sales Professional by Siemens Healthineersto the microphones of Affaritaliani.itstated: “This technology offers an innovative and much more realistic visualization of the patient’s anatomy, simplifying the clinical approach, especially in complex surgical situations. Thanks to the volumetric vision, it allows you to choose more accurate surgical strategies, such as less invasive interventions, reducing recovery times and the entire duration of operations. It also promotes interdisciplinary collaboration between surgeons and radiologists, improving patient understanding of the proposed treatment. This system will revolutionize healthcare, making treatments more efficient and accessible, with a positive impact also on the number of daily interventions“.
