Artificial intelligence (AI) software developer Zebra Medical Vision has signed an agreement to provide its AI algorithms to DePuy Synthes Companies for use in analyzing orthopedic images.
Zebra's AI technology can be used to create 3D models from x-ray images. The companies believe that this could be useful for preoperative surgical planning and more cost-effective than using CT or MRI scans for presurgical planning.
Zebra's technology will be introduced as part of DePuy Synthes' Velys digital surgery system for preoperative, operative, and postoperative patient care.
