Features
PACS Integrated and Locally Hosted
PACS Integrated and Locally Hosted
The Surgical Reality Viewer is PACS-integrated and runs fully on-premise within the hospital network, without requiring cloud connectivity. Patient CT scans can be securely retrieved via PACS or directly from imaging modalities within the hospital network.
The Viewer’s series selector previews DICOM series and allows quick selection and loading of the desired DICOM series. All data remains within the hospital network and can be reviewed, edited, and accessed across workstations. Results can also be optionally sent back to PACS.

High-Fidelity CT Rendering
High-Fidelity CT Rendering
In addition to conventional 2D CT viewing, the Surgical Reality Viewer provides high-quality 3D volume rendering of CT data. This enables detailed visualization of lung anatomy and surrounding tissues in relation to the patient-specific 3D model. The result is improved spatial understanding and comprehensive anatomical assessment for surgical planning.

Automated Labeling of Anatomical Structures Within Minutes
Automated Labeling of Anatomical Structures Within Minutes
The loaded CT scan can be converted into a patient-specific 3D model with a single click. You select the side of the lung to process, and the AI automatically starts generating a 3D reconstruction. Within minutes, anatomical structures are labeled in color, including bronchi, arteries, veins, lobes, and segments.

Anatomy-Based Segmental Borders
Anatomy-Based Segmental Borders
The automatically generated segmentations take both airway and arterial anatomy into account, ensuring anatomically correct segmental borders adapted to patient-specific anatomy. This enables accurate identification of segmental planes in relation to tumor margins, supporting precise segmentectomy planning and ICG-based delineation, according to the most recent technical recommendations. (Brunelli et al., 2023)

Easy-to-Use Interface Designed for Surgeons
Easy-to-Use Interface Designed for Surgeons
The interface is developed with and for surgeons, aligned with clinical workflows. It resembles standard DICOM viewers used in PACS systems for easy adoption. Using simple automated annotation tools, tumors and pulmonary lesions can be marked with a single click. Integrated planning tools support margin simulation and quantitative measurements on CT data. Anatomical structures can be easily toggled on and off to focus on the region of interest. The design remains intuitive, without unnecessary complexity.

Surgeon Stays in Control
Surgeon Stays in Control
The automatically generated 3D model remains directly linked to the original CT data, ensuring continuous anatomical reference. If needed, the segmentations can be refined using integrated editing tools, including simple drawing and erasing functions. Once clinically validated, the interactive and deformable 3D model is generated.

Interactive and Deformable 3D Model
An interactive, patient-specific deformable 3D model can be generated within seconds, mimicking tissue behaviour during surgical manipulation. Advanced simulation techniques replicate how lung tissue responds to pressure and instrument interaction, improving spatial understanding of anatomy in its intraoperative context.

Intraoperative Guidance
Intraoperative Guidance
During surgery, the patient-specific 3D model remains continuously available and can be displayed alongside the endoscopic video (VATS/RATS), including seamless integration within robotic console monitors. This enables real-time navigation of anatomical structures and confirmation of landmarks.
After surgery, all cases remain available for review, educational use, and a clinical report can be added to the patient's electronic health record profile.
