West Orange, N.J.-based RWJBarnabas Health is implementing an extended-reality platform to support neurosurgical and spine procedures across its network.
The technology is being deployed at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J., Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J., and Rutgers Cancer Institute, also in New Brunswick. It provides immersive 3D visualization of patient anatomy for surgical planning and use in operating rooms and outpatient settings, according to an April 16 system news release.
The platform uses AI to enhance MRI and CT imaging, allowing surgeons to simulate procedures and determine optimal approaches for complex spinal and cranial cases.
It is also designed to support more precise surgical planning, reduce operating time, complications and recovery periods, and improve patient understanding through interactive 3D models.
The platform is available now at Robert Wood and will expand to Cooperman Barnabas later this year.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
