Would you want your doctor to use interactive 3D visualizations to explain your medical treatment options?
UHealth - University of Miami Health System has become the first to implement new software that turns standard scans into interactive 3D models. The integration allows doctors to access patient-specific anatomy without leaving their existing electronic health records.
Why it matters
This technology streamlines how surgeons and specialists plan complex procedures by providing seamless access to 3D visualizations during consultations. For patients, this means faster and more detailed anatomical insights integrated directly into their care workflow.
Avatar Medical currently supports 20 hospitals internationally, with UHealth serving as the first site to launch this specific Epic Systems integration. The exact scale of expected procedural time savings remains unknown.
The players
UHealth - University of Miami Health System
The Miami-based health network serving as the first site to implement the new 3D anatomy integration.
Avatar Medical
The medical technology company behind the FDA-cleared and CE-marked Vision software.
Epic Systems
The electronic health records provider now integrated with Avatar Medical Vision.
The details
The software, known as Avatar Medical Vision, automatically converts CT and MRI scans into 3D representations without needing manual segmentation. Clinicians can now launch these interactive tools directly from within a patient's Epic Systems health record. UHealth is the lead implementation site for this new workflow, which aims to assist with complex surgical planning and clinical consultations.
Timeline
Avatar Medical was founded in 2020.
The Epic Systems integration was announced on October 1, 2026.
Beyond the 305
This integration follows a pattern set by previous FDA-cleared diagnostic tools that aim to bridge the gap between imaging data and clinical software workflows. It marks a departure from traditional 3D rendering that previously required separate, time-intensive segmentation processes.
UHealth patients may see their doctors utilize more detailed 3D models during appointment consultations and surgical planning moving forward. This change is effective immediately for clinicians utilizing the updated Epic Systems interface.
The takeaway
The move signifies a shift toward more integrated, 3D-capable diagnostic tools in local hospitals. Watch for future clinical outcomes as UHealth continues its integration of the software into daily surgical workflows.
