Technology that transforms medical imaging into intuitive three-dimensional patient visualization

UHealth is the first institution to implement Avatar Medical Vision Software and the Barco Eonis 3D display, included in the Eonis Vision solution, within a clinical setting. The Department of Neurological Surgery’s physicians are integrating real-time, patient-specific 3D visualization into clinical sessions. It enables physicians and patients to review the images of their anatomy together during care discussions.

During clinic appointments, the neurosurgeons can pull up the patient’s scans into a floating, 3D view, powered by Dell Technologies’ Dell Pro Precision workstations with NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell Desktop Generation GPUs, allowing the anatomy to be explained in a more intuitive format than traditional scans can. That’s the difference. Rather than asking patients to imagine what they see, Eonis Vision lets them see it for themselves, in a way that traditional scans rarely achieve.

Traditional medical imaging is designed for clinical interpretation, not patient understanding. With the Eonis Vision solution, physicians can instantly transform imaging data into interactive 3D anatomy that can be rotated, explored, and examined during consultations, helping patients better understand complex conditions such as brain tumors, vascular abnormalities, and surgical approaches.

“This technology changes the clinic experience,” said Dr. Michael Ivan, Professor of Clinical Neurological Surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Director of Skull-base Surgery at UHealth. “Patients gain a much clearer understanding of their condition and treatment plan when they can see their own anatomy in three dimensions. That clarity reduces anxiety and improves the quality of the conversation between patient and physician.”

The Eonis Vision solution fits naturally into the Department’s existing clinical environment, supporting more meaningful patient-physician interactions without adding complexity. Physicians can incorporate 3D visualization into consultations instantly, with no additional prep or disruption to workflow.

Avatar Medical developed the Eonis Vision solution in collaboration with Barco, a global leader in medical display technology. Together, the companies are advancing a new model of clinical consultation where complex imaging data becomes understandable to patients in real time. Clinical teams use Dell Pro Precision workstations, delivering the performance required to process complex imaging data seamlessly at the point of care.

“Healthcare has invested heavily in digital diagnostics and advanced imaging, yet the consultation experience has remained largely unchanged,” said Xavier Wartelle, Chief Executive Officer, Avatar Medical. “By enabling physicians and patients to view anatomy together in intuitive 3D, UHealth is demonstrating how visualization technology can transform communication, strengthen trust, and ultimately improve patient care.”

While the initial deployment is focused within the Department of Neurological Surgery, the technology has potential applications across many other specialties, including oncology, orthopedics, cardiology, and surgical planning. By helping patients better understand their conditions and treatment options, the implementation of this system represents a step toward a more transparent, collaborative model of care.
