N-Vision 3D For microscopic and endoscopic

Problems in microscopic and endoscopic surgery-1

Surgery without a sense of depth and three-dimensionality is very dangerous.

This is because the surgeon is not actually opening the body to perform the surgery, but is looking at a screen. The human body is a three-dimensional structure and must be understood and operated on in three dimensions. An experienced surgeon with deep knowledge of the human body can imagine the structure in two to three dimensions, but an inexperienced surgeon cannot. However, inexperienced surgeons cannot do so, and their act is very dangerous. In surgery for brain tumors, arterial flow, and epilepsy, one millimeter can make a huge difference. The surgeon knows that depth intuitively throughout his career.

At present, surgeons use a surgical loupe to look into the surgical parts for fine details, and a microscope for more detailed operations.

The former causes numbness in the neck and arms,
In the latter, it causes eye strain and stiff shoulders.
Optical microscopes have a problem of shallow depth of focus at high magnification, making it difficult to focus.
With our system, surgeons, assistants, residents, and medical students can share the same field of view on the same monitor
This system allows surgeons, assistants, residents, and medical students to share the same field of view, and enables the smooth transfer of skills among skilled surgeons.
Our originally developed AI algorithm can create 3D images from 2D images in real time, which can be displayed on glassless 3D display.

Problems in Microscopic and Endoscopic Surgery-2

Multi Camera Endoscope

Multi Camera Endoscope Compound eye endoscopes were developed to provide a stereoscopic view. One of the characteristics of multiple camera endoscopes is that they are weak against high magnification, and when magnification is increased, the image may not come into focus and become blurred. On the other hand, monocular endoscopes have the advantage of high magnification and clear images, but they cannot see three-dimensionally and are two-dimensional, so they have the disadvantage of not being able to grasp the three-dimensional effect of an object. Furthermore, when one person is operating a monocular endoscope, the people around them cannot share viewing information at the same time.

SOLUTION

Free-glass 3D technology with AI real-time 2D-3D image conversion

This is a glass-free 3D technology based on AI real-time 2D-3D image conversion that can instantly convert any live-action image from a monocular camera into 3Dimage. This real-time 2D-3D conversion enables 3D understanding of the human body and allows the user to see the depth of the some areas of human body, which until now has been invisible on the screen in real time. The ability to see and understand depth in millimeters is effective in preventing massive blood loss and medical errors in advance of surgery.

Real-time 2D to 3D output is in reality

NOVIUS Real-time conversion time (2D to 3D conversion time) is the fastest in the world. The conversion time is approximately 0.08 seconds (as of July 10, 2022) by developing a proprietary AI 3D algorithm. (Measurement environment: 24-inch lenticular display and 17-inch LFD is likely faster)

N-VISION is Non-Medical Device (Programmed Medical Device)

This technology has been confirmed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare as a programmed medical device and a non-medical device. It is intended for use in the medical field as an AI image support system, or in the case of this technology, for data display, storage, and transfer processing.

Simultaneous viewing by multiple audiences

Glass-Free style, No VR goggles, No converters are needed, so people around you can share what is being displayed on the glass-free 3D display.

1

3D images can be created from 2D images using AI algorithms developed in real-time.

2

3D images enable us to grasp depth and three-dimensional sensation, which leads to improved safety and skills during operation.

3

In medical education, active learning is promoted and the learning curve is shortened for contents (anatomy, etc.) that originally require 3D understanding

4

Glassless 3D output makes it possible to share images with glassless eye and multiple people without wearing a device.

5

Supports post-Covid19 as a non-contact tool

Existing 2D monocular endoscope cameras can be used

A monocular endoscope can be used to see in 3D in real time. This is the main reason why we developed this technology. More than 80% of endoscopes currently installed in medical institutions in Japan are monocular cameras. N-VISION3D can output 3D images in real time from existing 2D endoscope cameras (monocular camera/single camera). No converters or 3D glasses are required. The development of this technology will make it easier to grasp the target organ three-dimensionally with 3D images of the depth of the target organs, which has been difficult to do with flat 2D images, and will enable faster and more accurate surgery that leads the higher successful operation Even single-lens single image can be converted to 3D by AI.technology The single-lens single image can be converted to 3D by AI and displayed on glassless 3D display in real time, which can be shared with multiple doctors in the operating room.

Easy connection to existing microscopes, 2D-endoscopes, and X-ray fluoroscope.


Pull images from existing endoscope equipment (such as existing endoscope equipment) via HDMI, etc., and install N-VISION’s AI software on the NVIDIA GPU-equipped equipment. Existing images can be streamed to the device to view 3D-enhanced images in real time. The display is a naked-eye 3D monitor. The connection method is basically HDMI, but depending on the manufacturer of the endoscope system, it may not be possible to output images.
