Dr. Mehta puts on his AR headset and stares at the knee MRI floating in front of him. For years, he squinted at flat slices on a screen, trying to imagine how bones, ligaments, and vessels fit together. Now, he can spin the image around, zoom in, and almost hold the anatomy in his hands.
It’s still strange the first time, but also exciting. Radiologists have been working in 2D for decades. AR in radiology changes that—it makes you see things differently, faster, and more clearly.
Beyond the Slices
Looking at one slice after another is…well, it works, but it’s mentally tiring. You have to reconstruct the anatomy in your head. With Nandico’s 3D tools, you don’t have to. You can see the structure as a whole, rotate it, and focus on tricky areas right away.
Dr. Mehta leans closer and notices a small vascular anomaly he might have skimmed over before. “I wouldn’t have caught this without the 3D view,” he says.
- Rotate, zoom, explore anatomy in real time
- Quickly spot tricky areas
- Compare with prior studies without extra steps
It doesn’t replace expertise—it just makes the details easier to catch.
Tools That Don’t Get in the Way
New tech can be intimidating, but Nandico keeps it simple. No switching between apps, no complicated menus. The 3D and AR tools sit where you already work.
Dr. Mehta switches from a standard MRI slice to a 3D view with one click. No interruptions, no extra training. It’s just…there.
- Toggle between 2D and 3D quickly
- Keep your usual tools and layout
- Focus stays on the study, not the software
Working Together
The coolest part? You can share the 3D models with surgeons or oncologists. Instead of sending PDFs or static images, everyone can explore the same model in real time.
Dr. Mehta recalls a spinal surgery consult. The surgeon rotated the vertebrae model, checked the anomalies, and asked questions on the spot. The discussion was faster, clearer, and more confident than ever before.
Why It Matters
AR in radiology isn’t just flashy—it helps you notice more, understand better, and communicate clearly. Combined with Nandico PACS, it makes imaging feel tangible, real, and useful. For radiologists, that little extra clarity can make a huge difference in diagnosis and patient care.
