Conditions

Prostate Cancer

Brief summary

A prospective, randomized, controlled study designed to assess whether digital virtual reality (VR) models, created from existing CT scans and MRIs, provide surgeons with an improved understanding of their patients' anatomy, resulting in more efficient operations (robotic prostatectomy) and improved patient care.

Interventions

VR models generated using Ceevra Reveal are viewed by surgeons in connection with the case in addition to source CT/MR image.
