3D models for Head and Neck Surgery
- Helps accurately identify critical structures such as nerves and blood vessels
- Improves communication among the medical team, helping to define the optimal surgical procedure
- Allows the feasibility and complexity of the surgery to be assessed
- Improves communication with the patient, facilitating their understanding of their condition and the surgical procedure
Our 3D models offer features tailored to real clinical needs, enabling personalised surgical planning for across specialties and pathologies.
Measure distances
Measure the distance between points of interest or the diameter of elements such as vascularisation.
Surgical margins
Simulate the 5-10-15 mm safety margin for surgical resection of the tumour.
Anatomical relationships
Study the relationship of the tumour to the vascularisation, trachea, thyroid, oesophagus, and other structures.
Intraductal and intravascular navigation
Visualise the interior of vascularisation or other elements to analyse tumour invasion.
