Novarad AR software to aid medical ed
Katherine E. Pfaff
Medical imaging software company, Novarad Corporation, will offer augmented reality software for academic facilities for medical education. The company’s “OpenSight AR System for Education” can provide an interactive tool with its 3-D imaging through holographs.
The launch is aimed at teaching institutions, including those that educate surgeons and dentists.
The system uses a Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset. With the device, the user can interact with the hologram, using zoom, rotation, and brightness or contrast to view the body. Settings can be used to identify bone and organs, and for planning.
"OpenSight is a gamechanger for education. Students get to use the latest technology of augmented reality to fully experience their anatomy labs and even participate in virtual labs. Now they can 'see through the donors while viewing the donors,' so to speak, and they can slice through the different anatomical areas and view them in their natural placement before dissection occurs," said David Grandpre, senior director of product at Novarad. "This gives students an additional level of anatomical experience and will make anatomy class more memorable. It is priced specifically for education."
