AI Real-Time Surgical Holographic Navigation System SurgiHolo Receives CE Certification: Surgeons See 3D Holographic Images of Patient Organs on the Operating Table
SurgiHolo, developed jointly by Microsoft and Medtronic, receives CE certification, using mixed reality glasses to overlay 3D anatomical images in real time onto the surgical field, helping surgeons precisely locate tumors and blood vessels.
AI Real-Time Surgical Holographic Navigation System SurgiHolo Receives CE Certification: Surgeons See 3D Holographic Images of Patient Organs on the Operating Table
SurgiHolo, a surgical holographic navigation system jointly developed by Microsoft and Medtronic, received CE certification on August 26, 2030. When surgeons wear HoloLens 3 mixed reality glasses, they can see 3D holographic images of the patient's organs directly in their surgical field, including tumor boundaries, blood vessel paths, and nerve distributions.
SurgiHolo's core is "real-time image registration" technology. During surgery, the system continuously acquires intraoperative images through miniature ultrasound probes and optical trackers. AI algorithms register new images with preoperative CT/MRI data in real time, ensuring the holographic image's positional error relative to actual anatomy is less than 0.5 millimeters.
In clinical tests at Charite Hospital in Berlin, SurgiHolo-assisted liver tumor resection surgery improved the complete tumor resection rate from 87% to 98% and reduced average surgery time by 35%. Lead surgeon Professor Thomas Muller said: "SurgiHolo allows me to see the precise tumor boundary during surgery — as if a clear dividing line has been drawn on the organ."
Medtronic's VP of Surgical Technology said SurgiHolo will be deployed in 50 European hospitals in Q1 2031, priced at $300,000 per device plus a $5,000 monthly software subscription fee.
