Medical Imaging.
Made spatial.

Explore patient-specific anatomy in interactive 3D for case discussion, surgical training and research.

Patient-specific visualization

From imaging
to spatial anatomy.

Import CT, MRI and other DICOM datasets as 3D volumes. Rotate and scale anatomy to examine structures and their relationships.

Explore on VR, autostereoscopic displays, touchscreens or desktop monitors, and share views for training, case discussion and research.

Optional Medicalholodeck AI segmentation can isolate organs, bones and vessels for focused exploration.

Import medical imaging

Import 2D, 3D or 4D DICOM datasets from CT, MRI, CBCT, ultrasound, echocardiography or angiography.

Explore anatomy in 3D

Rotate, scale and adjust the volume to examine anatomical relationships and segmented structures in context.

Choose your device

Explore individually or with a group using VR, autostereoscopic displays, touchscreens, desktop monitors or iOS devices.

Displays and interaction

Spatial imaging.
Across your workspace.

Choose how to explore and discuss patient anatomy: immersive VR, glasses-free 3D displays or interactive touchscreens.

Immersive exploration

Virtual reality

Explore 3D anatomy from any viewpoint. Rotate and scale the volume to examine depth and relationships between structures.

Anatomy for procedural trainingIdentify landmarks and surrounding anatomy from multiple perspectives.

Use the standalone Medicalholodeck app or connect a compatible headset to Spatial OS on Windows.

Stereoscopic depth

Autostereoscopic displays

View anatomy with glasses-free 3D depth. Examine structure shape and position at the workstation.

Spatial anatomy at the workstationFollow vessels and locate organs in the full volume.

Requires a Spatial OS-compatible 3D display; viewing conditions and simultaneous viewer count depend on the display.

Direct touch interaction

Interactive touchscreens

Explore and orient the dataset directly on a Windows touchscreen. Share a view during case discussions or training.

A shared view for discussionShow anatomical relationships and compare observations.

Choose a desktop display for small groups or a large screen for simulation labs.

The Windows platform

One dataset. Multiple views.

Explore Spatial OS

Spatial OS runs Medical Imaging on a Windows PC and connects compatible VR headsets, autostereoscopic displays and standard 2D screens. The PC renders the dataset for each view, allowing individual exploration and shared-screen discussion within the same session.

Simultaneous use of the PC screen and a VR headset requires the Second Viewer license. Standalone VR and iOS use their respective Medicalholodeck apps.

Mouse and keyboard

Standard monitors

Work with the 3D volume on a standard Windows monitor using mouse and keyboard controls. Rotate, enlarge and inspect anatomy for training or research, and prepare views for a case presentation. A standard monitor shows the scene in perspective, without stereoscopic depth.

Mobile access

iPhone & iPad

Explore medical imaging and 3D anatomy in the Medicalholodeck iOS app. Use touch interaction for individual study and anatomy discussions on an iPhone or iPad. The app also offers augmented reality viewing.

Select the app for your device and compare the available functions.

Spatial medical imaging

Examine patients.
In depth and in context.

Explore patient anatomy in 3D to understand structural relationships and complex cases in training, case discussion and research.

Cardiac anatomy

Assess cardiac morphology in its full 3D context, then examine individual structures and their spatial relationships.

Evaluate cardiac morphology and spatial relationships

Examine the chambers, myocardium and great vessels within the complete patient volume to support anatomical assessment and procedural planning.

Differentiate internal cardiac structures

Use color-coded segmentation to distinguish cardiac chambers and vascular structures and assess their spatial relationships.

Dental and craniofacial assessment

Assess dentition, maxillofacial bone and adjacent structures in spatial 3D to support diagnosis, treatment planning and interdisciplinary case review.

Assess segmented craniofacial structures

Differentiate structures across the head and neck to clarify complex spatial relationships for case assessment and treatment planning.

Evaluate dentition and jaw relationships

Examine tooth position and its relationship to surrounding maxillary and mandibular structures for dental and maxillofacial planning.

Spatial orientation and internal structures

Establish anatomical orientation and examine internal structures within the complete patient volume to support confident interpretation and clinical communication.

Establish cranial orientation in spatial 3D

Examine cranial morphology from multiple perspectives to clarify the position and relationships of internal structures during case review.

Assess abdominal structures in context

Differentiate abdominal organs and surrounding structures within the complete patient volume to support spatial assessment and procedural planning.

Segmentation is available through the optional Medicalholodeck AI service. These demonstrations are intended for training, case discussion and research.

Use cases

Real datasets.
Meaningful exploration.

Bring patient-specific anatomy into professional training, case communication and research. Explore how spatial imaging can support the questions your team wants to investigate.

Explore surgical anatomy.

Build a structured training discussion around patient-specific imaging. Rotate the volume, expose internal structures and relate the region of interest to surrounding anatomy. With RecordXR, instructors can record complete spatial lessons for replay, review and sharing.

Training example

An instructor can guide a group through a cranial dataset, inviting participants to identify landmarks and explain the anatomical relationships relevant to a procedural approach.

Make complex cases easier to discuss.

Give every colleague the same spatial reference for patient-specific imaging. Use a shared view, measurements and annotations to clarify structures, findings and clinical questions during multidisciplinary review.

Discussion example

During a case presentation, highlight a structure or measurement and explain its relationship to the surrounding anatomy so the team can evaluate the same evidence together.

Turn patient imaging into a learning experience.

Connect CT and MRI volumes with established anatomical knowledge. Guide learners through orientation, depth and spatial relationships, then compare imaging with anatomy and dissection content to build clinically grounded understanding.

Session example

Build a lesson around one region: identify it in the scan, trace its relationships to neighbouring structures and discuss how the imaging corresponds to anatomy in the body.

Turn complex datasets into research insight.

Examine patient-specific volumes, segmentations and derived surfaces in a shared spatial workspace. Compare structures, document observations and communicate findings with a common visual reference across the research team.

Research example

Present a region of interest, compare its segmented structures and record the questions that require further analysis or validation.
