TrueVision, a company that makes stereoscopic 3D visualization systems for operating and surgical uses, has just received 510k clearance on it’s newest 3D Visualization and Guidance System.  The 510k is the final step in making the product usable in widespread medical environments in the US, marking a huge step:  3d Stereoscopic Imagery is now accepted and approved by the US as a suitable means of visualizing human anatomy in the OR.

“This groundbreaking innovation is the first of its kind representing a new generation of computer guidance tools for interactive surgery,” Forrest Fleming, CEO of TrueVision, said in the release. “We are very encouraged by what our initial clinical studies have shown using on-screen guidance for several important aspects of refractive cataract surgery.”
