Above all, this avoids sometimes unnecessarily invasive procedures.
This solution therefore reflects its vocation to democratize access to 3D images, for professionals but also for patients who usually have access to lower quality images in black and white, which are not very appealing, especially for them. Avatar Medical therefore defends L’authorization everyone involved in a practice, The focus is on the patient so they can understand the different treatment options and make an informed decision.
