Avatar Medical, an award-winning company advancing medical imaging from visualization to clinical understanding, announced on October 8, 2026, at the Journées Francophones de Radiologie (JFR 2026) in Paris that its Avatar Medical Vision software platform has received CE Marking. This certification makes it the first software CE-Marked for use with a glasses-free 3D medical display, allowing commercialization in Europe. The platform visualizes CT and MR images in 3D and VR for surgical planning and intervention. For full details, including downloadable images and bios, click here.
The significance of this CE Marking lies in its potential to transform clinical workflows. Surgeons and patients can now benefit from the same depth perception as with a headset, but without wearing anything on their head. This eliminates the need for headsets to clean, cables to manage, and occasionally unreliable hardware, making glasses-free 3D much better suited to everyday clinical settings, from consultations to surgical planning. The technology thus offers a more practical and hygienic solution for busy operating rooms and clinics.
This milestone builds on Avatar Medical Vision’s initial CE marking in 2025 and enables the commercialization of its glasses-free 3D capabilities across Europe. With regulatory clearances in both Europe and the United States, Avatar Medical is positioned to pursue broader adoption across two major healthcare markets. The company’s focus extends from patient consultations to surgical planning and the operating room, and this milestone strengthens two key steps of that journey—consultation and surgical planning—by making patient-specific anatomy easier to understand across multiple specialties.
Founded in 2020, Avatar Medical is pioneering Visual Intelligence for Surgery, building a scalable solution that transforms medical imaging into actionable visual information throughout the surgical care journey. Its flagship solution, Avatar Medical Vision, converts CT and MRI scans into interactive, lifelike 3D visualizations instantly and without segmentation, giving clinicians a more intuitive way to understand patient-specific anatomy, plan procedures, collaborate, and communicate with patients. Originating from research conducted at Institut Curie and Institut Pasteur, Avatar Medical has FDA-cleared and CE-marked technology products and works with more than 20 hospitals across the U.S. and Europe.
