HOUSTON, TX, and COLUMBUS, OH., 10 February, 2011—Battelle is helping surgeons at The Methodist Hospital enhance and advance their cutting-edge visualization system called Plato’s Cave, which provides views inside patients before ever lifting a scalpel. Named for the famed philosopher’s allegory describing perceptions of reality, Plato’s Cave offers extraordinary 3-D views of the human body. Surgeons, with or without the use of special glasses and a video game controller, navigate through images of the interior of patients’ bodies. The images are derived from CT, MRI or any DICOM scans, allowing for a virtual pre-surgical “fly through.” Plato’s Cave has earned acclaim from surgeons, clinicians and even patients and families desiring to better understand complex surgical options.
