Microscope control and image processing
The software covers everything from microscope control via a touch GUI to real-time digital image processing. It is designed to support surgeons in their work during surgery in the best possible way.
MSI Operationsmikroskop: Software for digital microsurgery
Special Solutions
About Munich Surgical Imaging
Munich Surgical Imaging (MSI) develops a fully digital surgical microscope for microsurgery - in daily clinical use, in ENT and now also in ophthalmic surgery. We have been working with MSI since 2013 on the continuous development of the software, in close collaboration with the experts at MSI.
Software that supports surgeons at their best
From the touch interface to real-time image processing: we build the entire software platform of the MSI Operationsmikroskop - meeting the highest medical quality standards.
Iterative development with Scrum and User Centered Design
Concept, design and engineering run in Scrum, in close exchange with the experts at MSI. New ideas emerge following User Centered Design principles - we visualise them through click dummies and high-fidelity prototypes and integrate user feedback iteratively.
High-performance implementation with C++ and CUDA
Implementation is done in C++, OpenGL, CUDA and SQLite. For the user interface we built our own GUI framework - tailored specifically to the requirements of the surgical microscope.
Calibration and commissioning
Before image processing can highlight structures, the microscope itself has to work with absolute precision - depth rendering exact, illumination uniform, behaviour identical across every device shipped. To make that reliable, we also built the calibration and commissioning software: for sensor, aperture, illumination and stereo optics, plus general tooling for putting the microscope into service.
Functions in the operating room
What the MSI Operationsmikroskop delivers thanks to the software:
- Real-time image manipulation - predefined and custom Looks adjust colour, brightness and contrast so that fine blood vessels, nerves or tissue boundaries stand out more clearly.
- Image and video capture - stills and recordings from surgery can be saved directly on the microscope - for documentation, reports and teaching.
- Multiple video outputs - the microscope image can be transferred live to additional displays.
- Patient information at hand - surgeons can display MRI or CT scans directly during surgery.
- Assist Mode - other doctors can point out image details or mark sections for teaching purposes.
