3D modelling

3D modelling is an innovative technology that transforms 2D diagnostic scans into interactive, virtual models, which can be used to assist pre-operative planning.

At a glance

Who's it for?

Any patients undergoing surgery, provided this service is offered by their surgeon.

What's involved?

A 2D scan is taken and transformed into an interactive, 3D digital model, available across multiple devices.

Why is it used?

When used in pre-operative planning, 3D modelling may provide improved surgical outcomes for patients.

As one of the UK’s leading private hospitals, we strive to provide the latest and greatest medical technology for our patients, which is why we are harnessing the benefits of 3D modelling for pre-operative planning. 

3D modelling allows our surgeons to visualise complex patient anatomy with greater precision. As a result, patients may experience improved surgical outcomes with faster recovery times and a reduced risk of post-operative complications.

What is 3D modelling?

3D modelling is an innovative technology that transforms 2D diagnostic scans (such as CT scans) into interactive, virtual models that can be used to assist pre-operative planning before surgery. They are particularly useful for tumour removal surgeries.

These 3D models can be viewed on any device, from smartphones to tablets, and help our surgeons better evaluate tumour depths and margins. Patients can also interact with their own 3D models, allowing them to feel more empowered and involved in their treatment.
