VIRTUAL / AUGMENTED REALITY
GE HEALTHCARE AND MEDIVIEW ANNOUNCE THE WORLD ’ S FIRST INSTALLATION AND CLINICAL USE OF AUGMENTED REALITY INTERVENTIONAL SUITE THAT AIMS TO TRANSFORM THE PRACTICE OF INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY
GE HealthCare , a leading global medical technology , pharmaceutical diagnostics and digital solutions innovator and MediView XR , a leading clinical Augmented Reality MedTech company , have announced the successful first installation and clinical cases using the OmnifyXR Interventional Suite at North Star Vascular and Interventional in Minneapolis , Minnesota . This innovative Augmented Realitybased interventional radiology suite combines a holographic heads-up display streaming live medical imaging , 3D anatomy model visualisation and advanced imaging technologies , while enabling the opportunity for remote collaboration to help advance the delivery of precision care across a variety of interventional procedures .
Image-guided therapy is a fast-evolving space that leverages advanced imaging and visualisation solutions to make it possible to treat many conditions , from cancer care to cardiovascular disease and more , with little to no surgical incisions . However , while performing these different interventional procedures , practitioners face many challenges – from positioning restrictions that obscure visual interface and display access , to time consuming workspace adjustments .
To address these challenges , OmnifyXR was designed to fit seamlessly into existing interventional suites and leverages Augmented Reality to support workflow efficiency and ergonomics , improved visualisation and collaborative care .
OmnifyXR leverages Augmented Reality innovation and is designed to support clinicians in the following ways :
• Workflow efficiency and ergonomics : Heads-up display ( HUD ) headset holographically displays multiple imaging video streams in a customisable way to create opportunities for improved ergonomics regardless of working position . Clinicians can simultaneously display up to four video streams ( such as Live Fluoroscopy , Reference Image , Advantage Workstation Image , Ultrasound and Hemodynamics ); customise the size , angle and orientation to meet workflow needs ; and utilise voice commands for hands-free interaction with the application .
• Improved visualisation of anatomy with 3D Assist : Designed to augment visualisation and help in the assessment of complex

anatomies , clinicians can interact with a holographic 3D model of the patient ’ s anatomy to support intraprocedural planning .
• Collaborative care : To allow for remote collaboration , consultation , training , proctoring and support , users can provide first-person view of their holographic experience through any internet-connected device to allow for collaborative care from any location .
“ OmnifyXR will change the way I approach my cases ,” shared Dr Amin Astani of North Star Vascular and Interventional . “ With GE HealthCare ’ s Allia platform , I can create a highly detailed 3D generated model in a matter of minutes without having to remove my sterile gloves to help maintain sterility during the procedure . Using MediView ’ s OmnifyXR , I can virtually place this 3D model anywhere in the room – allowing me to walk around it and evaluate it from different angles and perspectives in order to make more informed decisions about the way I approach and navigate my procedures .” �
