MIT's xvr aligns 2D X-rays with 3D scans in seconds at sub-millimeter precision
nordicinst · x · 2026-09-16
MIT researchers built xvr, an AI technique that aligns a patient's 2D X-rays with preoperative 3D scans (MRI/CT) in seconds with sub-millimeter precision, enabling X-ray-based navigation for minimally invasive surgery in orthopedics and neurosurgery. It generates thousands of synthetic X-rays from the 3D scan for training, adapts to individual patients in about five minutes, and requires no extra hardware, improving both safety and speed.
