Surgiviz4D

About

SurgiViz4D is an innovative Extended Reality (XR) platform designed to transform surgical education and pre-operative planning through highly realistic, physics-based medical simulation. The project was created to bridge the gap between traditional surgical training methods and the growing need for safe, repeatable, and immersive learning environments. By combining virtual reality with advanced biomechanical simulation, SurgiViz4D enables healthcare professionals and students to interact with patient-specific anatomy that behaves like real biological tissue.

The project’s primary goal is to improve the acquisition of surgical skills while reducing reliance on cadavers, animal models, and early-stage practice on patients. It provides a risk-free environment where complex procedures can be rehearsed repeatedly, allowing users to develop technical expertise, explore different surgical strategies, and better understand anatomical behavior before entering the operating room.

Developed by InfinyTech3D as part of the XR4ED European initiative, SurgiViz4D aims to make high-fidelity medical simulation more accessible for education, professional training, and future clinical applications. By leveraging real-time physics and immersive XR technologies, the project contributes to the next generation of digital surgical training, helping improve both learning outcomes and patient safety.

3 Training Scenarios

All our training scenario are available on the XR4ED marketplac

Liver Anatomy Inspection

The Liver Anatomy Inspection scenario introduces users to patient-specific liver anatomy through an interactive VR environment. Trainees can select from five different patient cases representing various tumor stages, manipulate the 3D liver model, and manually identify and contour tumors using VR controllers. This module focuses on developing anatomical understanding and tumor recognition skills while evaluating the accuracy of tissue identification.

Echography Liver Probing

The Echography Liver Probing scenario trains users in the manipulation of an ultrasound probe within a realistic virtual environment. Guided step by step, trainees perform a complete liver examination using real-time deformable ultrasound simulation before locating tumors displayed on a virtual operating room monitor. Performance is assessed through the percentage of tumor volume successfully scanned and the total examination time.

Uterus Surgical Procedure

The Uterus Surgical Procedure scenario provides hands-on training for a laparoscopic salpingectomy. Users learn to control two laparoscopic instruments, grasp and isolate the fallopian tube, then perform cutting and cauterization until the procedure is complete. The simulation emphasizes precision, efficiency, and surgical technique, with performance measured through cauterization accuracy, number of attempts, and overall procedure duration.

🚀 Advancing Surgical Training with VR – Meet SurgiViz4D! 🎉

We’re excited to share a first look at #SurgiViz4D, our interactive VR simulation application designed to enhance SurgicalTraining.
Using real-time physics-based simulation with the SOFA Framework, SurgiViz4D allows users to inspect anatomy, identify target areas, plan surgical trajectories, and receive interactive feedback on their performance.

🔎 We are actively seeking feedback from medical experts and looking for collaborators to refine and expand this training experience with real surgical cases!

👏 A huge thanks to the team for their dedication and to our medical partners for their valuable insights!
