Laparoscopes with dynamic 3D imaging capabilities provide more accurate measurements inside a target area
- Summary
- Peter K. Allen, Ph.D.
- Technology Benefits
- 3D imaging allows visualization of actual depth in target area vs. current 2D imaging laparoscopesEasier to learn how to use 3D imaging laparoscope than 2D Better navigation capabilities of 3D imaging will enable faster surgeriesAbility to compare pre-operative and intra-operative images in real-timeAbility to calculate and take precise measurements in surgical area3D imaging uses light source that won't hinder surgeon's visibilityPatent information:Patent Pending (WO/2013/163391)Tech Ventures Reference: IR CU12219
- Technology Application
- An adaptation to a standard laparoscope to create 3D imaging capabilitiesA 3D imaging system that can provide real time depth images of the target areaProcessing and calculating of the depth and length of the target areaAbility to compare pre-operative 3D images with intra-operative images
