Improving breast surgery accuracy through patient-specific digital twins

A new study from the Digital Surgery Lab at the Champalimaud Foundation, demonstrates how patient-specific digital twins, combined with augmented reality could help make breast cancer surgery more precise. By enabling surgeons to visualise a patient's tumour within the breast before making the first incision, this technology has the potential to improve tumour localisation during breast-conserving surgery while reducing invasiveness and supporting better surgical outcomes.
