Avatar Medical has obtained CE marking for Avatar Medical Vision, a software platform that provides instant 3D visualization of medical images for analysis and surgical planning. This marks the first CE-marked software compatible with a glasses-free 3D medical screen, according to the company. The announcement was made at the Journées francophones de radiologie (JFR 2026) in Paris. The CE marking paves the way for commercialization in Europe and represents a significant step forward in medical imaging technology.
The significance of this achievement lies in its potential to transform clinical practice. Surgeons and patients can now benefit from the same depth perception as with a headset, without wearing anything on their heads. This eliminates the need for headset cleaning, cables, and sometimes temperamental hardware, making glasses-free 3D much better suited to daily clinical practice, from consultation to surgical planning. By removing these barriers, the technology could see broader adoption in hospitals and clinics, ultimately improving patient understanding and surgical outcomes.

This milestone builds on Avatar Medical's previous CE marking obtained in 2025 for Avatar Medical Vision. With regulatory authorizations now in both Europe and the United States, the company has a solid foundation to expand its deployment across two major healthcare markets. The strengthened regulatory position allows Avatar Medical to accelerate its international development and bring its innovative solutions to more clinicians and patients. The company's technology is already used in collaboration with more than 20 hospitals in the United States and Europe.
Avatar Medical's ambition extends beyond surgical planning to encompass the entire care pathway, from consultation to the operating room. This CE marking specifically strengthens two key moments: consultation and surgical planning. By facilitating the understanding of each patient's specific anatomy across several specialties, the software supports better communication between clinicians and patients. The ability to instantly transform CT and MRI scans into interactive, realistic 3D visualizations without segmentation gives clinicians a more intuitive way to plan procedures and collaborate. This aligns with the company's goal of making visual intelligence accessible wherever critical surgical decisions are made.
Founded in 2020, Avatar Medical is a pioneer in visual intelligence for surgery. Born from research conducted at Institut Curie and Institut Pasteur, the company develops a scalable solution that transforms medical imaging into actionable visual information. Its flagship solution, Avatar Medical Vision, is at the core of this mission. For more information, visit avatarmedical.ai.
