NDSsi debuts advanced viz tools for the OR

NDS Surgical Imaging (NDSsi), a provider of medical visualization solutions for surgery suites, has launched new advanced visualization tools that allow operating room (OR) personnel to view diagnostic images.

The Radiology Imaging for the Surgical Environment (RISE), uses the company's visualization and informatics technologies to provide a solution that enables real-time, interactive consultation for medical professionals in the OR.

Digital orthopedic templating on x-ray images are traditionally completed outside the OR. Using RISE, the images can be transferred to a boom- or cart-mounted surgical display in the OR. Additionally, high-resolution grayscale images can be accessed immediately and reviewed side-by-side via a live HD feed from an orthopedic video camera, according to the firm.
