Medicalholodeck strengthens surgical education by allowing residents to work directly with patient-specific DICOM data in the Medical Imaging module. Residents can load CT and MRI scans from real cases and explore them in a three-dimensional space, rotating, slicing, and isolating structures to understand the exact anatomical landscape they will encounter in the operating room.

This hands-on preparation sharpens spatial awareness, supports preoperative planning, and builds the confidence needed for complex procedures. It also enables residents to revisit cases multiple times, reinforcing learning without relying solely on time-limited operating room exposure.

Learn clinical imaging interpretation in 3D

Reading and interpreting clinical imaging is a critical skill for any specialist. With Medicalholodeck, residents move beyond flat, two-dimensional slices to fully interactive 3D representations of patient data. They can trace vessels, examine organs, and identify pathological changes from multiple angles, developing a comprehensive understanding of scan orientation and anatomical variations. This immersive approach accelerates mastery of imaging techniques, helping residents connect what they see on scans with what they encounter in surgery or clinical exams.

Real clinical cases for case-based learning

Medicalholodeck makes it easy to bring actual patient cases into residency teaching. Educators can load DICOM datasets, guiding residents through diagnostic considerations, treatment planning, and anatomical review. Residents can explore these cases independently or in group sessions, discuss findings, and work through differential diagnoses. This case-based learning mirrors real-world practice and enhances clinical decision-making skills, preparing residents to handle a wide range of patient scenarios.

Use automatic segmentation for deeper insights

With Medicalholodeck AI, residents can automatically segment critical anatomical structures and pathological areas from patient scans. This means they can instantly highlight tumors, organs, or vascular networks, gaining a clearer picture of relationships and complexities within the body.

It’s an invaluable tool for understanding tumor margins, planning resection lines, or studying variations in patient anatomy – offering a level of anatomical detail and efficiency that supports deeper learning and more precise planning.

Collaborate in teams for stronger clinical learning

Clinical practice relies on teamwork, and Medicalholodeck supports collaborative learning by letting residents work through cases together in a shared virtual space. Teams can jointly review imaging, discuss surgical strategies, or map out procedural approaches, enhancing communication and collective reasoning.

This collaborative environment helps build the interdisciplinary skills residents will use daily in hospitals, from pre-op conferences to multi-specialty treatment planning.

Platform access

Medicalholodeck runs on standalone VR headsets, PC-VR systems, iPads, and iPhones, making it easy to use across different hospital departments, training centers, or at home for independent study.
