Augmented reality spine surgery allows surgeons to “see” your spine in 3D through the skin during spinal implant surgery. This “x-ray vision” gives UConn Health surgeons better control and visualization, with the goal of easier, faster and safer surgeries.

Dr. Isaac Moss performs spine surgery assisted by Tony Westhoff RN and spine fellow Dr. Chirag Chaudhary using augmented reality which provides real-time 3D imaging of the anatomy and projects it within the surgeon’s field of vision for a new level of precision and safety.
