Leading Thoracic Surgeon will Present Practical Use of How AI-Driven 3D Imaging Can Enable Better Patient Outcomes at Special Innovation Session

NEWARK, Calif., May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire-ÌÇÐÄVlog/ -- Ziosoft, a pioneer in 3D/4D AI medical visualization, will feature its unique REVORAS-enabled thoracic surgical planning capabilities at the annual American Association of Thoracic Surgeons (AATS) conference being held May 2-4, Chicago. The Ziostation REVORAS software is one of the company's most recent developments, offering a scalable, enterprise platform, which enables critical analytical tools such as automatic pulmonary and vein segmentation and lung cancer treatment planning.

"REVORAS has redefined how I approach lung cancer surgery enabling data-driven, patient-specific planning that improves accuracy, preserves lung tissue and supports better clinical outcomes," said Nestor R. Villamizar, MD, Miller School of Medicine, Department of Surgery, University of Miami. "In addition, since adopting REVORAS, we've been able to plan lung resections with exceptional precision, achieving safe margins while preserving lung function and, in select cases, avoiding more extensive resections altogether."

Dr. Villamizar, whose facility under the leadership of Dr. Dao Nguyen has done over 500 surgical planning procedures using REVORAS since 2022, will be presenting the University of Miami's direct experience and evaluation of the REVORAS platform at a special innovation session – Precision Planning in Thoracic Surgery: Leveraging AI-driven 3D Imaging for Better Outcomes – at AATS. The session will be held Sunday, May 3, 2026 at 4:00 pm in Lakeside, Room E353A. A cocktail reception will follow. All AATS attendees are invited.

"With our advanced Ziostation REVORAS software, we are empowering surgeons with unprecedented capabilities," said Rajeev Taitriya, vice president of marketing and business development for Ziosoft. "For example, using REVORAS software could fundamentally change intraoperative decision-making. Our clinicians tell us that what might have usually required a lobectomy can confidently be treated with a precise segmentectomy, without compromising oncologic margins."

This transformative tool enhances surgical planning by providing insights into regions of interest, such as a better understanding of the positional relationships of the bronchi and pulmonary arteries or veins during preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance. According to Taitriya, Ziosoft's cutting-edge 3D software identifies candidate segments based on lesion location and margin criteria. The software also provides a detailed stump view of the bronchi and vessels slated for dissection. It automatically segments thoracic structures with high accuracy including pulmonary arteries and veins from non-contrast DICOM datasets.

Ziosoft's REVORAS platform is purpose-built for advanced surgical planning, delivering high-fidelity 3D visualization for complex cardiothoracic procedures. It enables patient-specific, data-driven planning with automated workflows that enhance precision and operating efficiency. As a secure, software-only on-premises solution, it keeps patient data within the hospital network while minimizing total cost of ownership. Through the flexible Zioflex subscription, institutions can adopt REVORAS with a low-risk, scalable path to Ziosoft's full suite of advanced visualization applications.
