MedVR is a non-profit organization in Boston educating the interdisciplinary community of medical XR innovators. They hold regular talks about the journey of medical XR innovators with the purpose of educating the global community of XR innovators and bring attention to those producing valuable R&D.
Alicia Pose Díez de la Lastra hold an amazing talk presenting our latest work about AR to improve microtia reconstruction procedures.
The title was:
Revolutionizing Ear Reconstruction with 3D Printing and Augmented Reality – Webinar Introduction
Please, find below an overview of the talk:
Are you a surgeon looking for innovative ways to improve microtia ear reconstruction procedures? This webinar will showcase a groundbreaking clinical workflow that combines 3D printing and Augmented Reality (AR) technology to achieve:
– Enhanced Objectivity: Eliminate subjectivity and artistic dependence in ear reconstruction.
– Increased Accuracy: Achieve precise placement and shaping of the reconstructed ear.
– Improved Reproducibility: Ensure consistent results across different surgeons and patients.
This webinar will delve into a recently published study that details the development and implementation of this innovative solution. We’ll explore:
– The limitations of traditional microtia reconstruction techniques.
– How 3D printed templates and molds guide the creation of a new ear framework.
– The functionality of a custom-designed AR application for accurate ear placement.
– The results of the clinical trial, demonstrating the accuracy and effectiveness of the new workflow.
By the end of this webinar, you’ll gain valuable insights into how this cutting-edge technology can revolutionize microtia ear reconstruction, leading to improved patient outcomes.
