Medica 2017: Fraunhofer HHI and ARRI Medical present digital 3D surgical microscope

    Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI and ARRI Medical present new processes for digital 3D measuring technology at Medica in Düsseldorf, Germany, at Fraunhofer booth G05 in hall 10.

    Digital 3D Surgical Microscope

    The ARRISCOPE is a digital stereo surgical microscope. As part of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) research project 3DInMed, Fraunhofer HHI has developed a method for intraoperative measurements with high precision. As a result, it is now possible for the first time to accurately estimate the required prosthesis size or to specify tumor dimensions. In addition, a procedure has been developed that significantly simplifies the cutting of cartilage for closing the eardrum: at the situs, viewed with a microscope, the relevant contour is marked virtually by an instrument. The full-scale contour is then shown via Augmented Reality (AR) inside the digital binocular to facilitate the cutting of the autologous tissue.

    3DInMed – Digital 3D endoscopy for inspection and metrology

    Fraunhofer HHI and ARRI Medical present results of the BMWi-funded project 3DInMed. Digital 3D endoscopes used for industrial applications open up completely new possibilities for extracting and visualizing additional information by using advanced stereo algorithms for depth estimation. In particular, the survey of cavities that are difficult to access and the inspection of wearing parts by such methods, allow a more precise statement about the surveyed items condition.

    Help

    Search / advanced search of the idw archives
    Combination of search terms

    You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

    Brackets

    You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

    Phrases

    Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

    Selection criteria

    You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

    If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
