Dextrobeam

The Dextrobeam is a highly interactive console that enables collaborative examination of three-dimensional (3-D) medical imaging data for planning, discussing, or teaching neurosurgical approaches and strategies.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The console is designed to work in combination with a 3D stereoscopic display. The console enables two-handed interaction by means of two 6 Degree-of-Freedom motion tracking devices. A set of built-in software tools gives users the ability to manipulate and interact with patients’ imaging data in a natural and intuitive way.

The stereoscopic display (a large monitor or a projector) displays volumetric 3D medical structures from patients’ multimodality images allowing groups, large and small, to gain a deeper understanding of complex anatomical relationships.

The Dextrobeam was used as a teaching tool at the following congresses and courses:

Institution Conference/Event
Congress of Neurological Surgeons Live 3-D Cadaveric Demonstration of Surgical Approaches, CNS 2006 & 2007
Dept. Neurosurgery, St. Louis Hospital (MO, USA) Practical Anatomy & Surgical Education Courses, 2006 and 2007
Dept. Neurosurgery, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Germany) Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery courses (four times a year), 2004-2007
Dept. Neurosurgery, National Neuroscience Institute (Singapore) - Neurosurgical Instructional Course featuring Virtual Reality, 2006-2007

- Virtual Temporal Bone Surgery Training Course 2002, 2001

Dept. Neurosurgery, National University Hospital (Singapore) Masterclasses in Difficult Neurosurgery course, 2007
School of Health Sciences, University of Minho, Braga (Portugal) [null Hands-on Course: Sulci, Gyri and Ventricles] 2007

The Dextrobeam was installed at the following institutions:

Medical/Research InstitutionMain Use
Johannes Gutenberg University Hospital (Mainz, Germany)Neurosurgery & Medical Education
