CVL is currently teaming up with doctors and other researchers at ETH Zürich and Balgrist hospital to transform lumbar spine surgery. Within the flagship project SURGENT from Hochschulmedizin Zürich a pipeline is being developed to pre-operatively visualize a 3D model of the lumbar spine, simulate surgery outcomes depending on screw placement and finally also providing surgeons patient specific 3D models during surgery with the help of augmented reality.
