"Having a real hologram of the heart in my hand, based on pre-operative CT and intra-procedure ultrasound, allows me to focus-in and fully understand the complexities of the patient's 3D anatomy" said Dr. Elchanan Bruckheimer, Cath Lab Director at Schneider Children's Medical Center and Medical Director for RealView Imaging. "Using the holographic system, I can intuitively comprehend the dynamic spatial anatomical relationships of the cardiac valve leaflets, for example. I can literally touch, mark, locate, slice or define a path for the intervention. This technology provides me with more confidence, potentially resulting in shorter procedures and better outcomes."
"There is a rapidly growing need for advanced visualization solutions in the world of Medical Imaging, driven by the huge trend to perform minimally-invasive procedures that exclusively rely on imaging technologies," says Shaul Gelman, CEO and Co-Founder of RealView Imaging. "The HOLOSCOPE™-i delivers the next-generation of 3D interactive visualization tools that empower imaging-based medical interventions, allowing clinicians to intuitively understand the complex anatomy they are treating in a realistic and accessible way like never seen before."
"After years of developing this incredible deep-technology, we are excited to bring this science-fiction solution to support real-world clinical practice," said Dr. Shimon Eckhouse, RealView's Chairman of the Board. "Following this important FDA clearance, we are now focused on the commercialization of the HOLOSCOPE™-i system in North America and are planning to expand our market reach to additional countries over the next year. I believe RealView can significantly impact the growing field of structural heart interventions, as well as additional clinical fields which rely on advanced imaging to deliver better and faster medical care."
RealView Imaging's vision is to leverage its pioneering position to globally lead the field of Medical Holography, scaling its proprietary technology to multiple clinical applications. The company's next product, the HOLOSCOPE™-x, projects 3D holographic images inside the closed patient's body (in situ), making the patient literally transparent. This patented product, currently under development, is uniquely designed to enable in-body spatially-precise minimally-invasive procedures.
