Hi, I'm Marie Buhot-Launay. I'm VP sales and Marketing at Avatar Medical. So at Avatar Medical, what we do is we have surgeon make safer, shorter and less invasive surgeries. The way we do that is we, we convert CT scans and MRIs into 3d and digital visualization in real time. So the differentiation of our technology compared to other technology is that we keep 100% of the data into the 3d and the virtual reality visualization. So this way, we can do it in real time at the point of care, and we don't lose any details. So the surgeons is the one deciding exactly what he or she wants to see by applying features to the visualization. So for an oncology surgeon, oncologic surgeon, what he wants to see is tumors and vessels. So he will apply specific filters for that, and in real time, you can see it, and then when once he's happy with the visualization, you can use the virtual reality headset. And this way, you can have a better stereoscopic view of the anatomy of the patient and understand all the fine details and understand the geometry of the anatomy of the patient. Here for instance, you see, this is a breast surgeon planning for a breast surgery. And today, The Way She Does It is by looking at 2d MRIs, so she has to go through all the slices and understand exactly where the tumor are. With this new technology as you can see here. In one glimpse, she can really estimate whether tumors are where the lymph nodes are, and define whether she will go she will do a partial mastectomy or total mastectomy. So this is really what we bring to the table we help surgeon make better decision and faster decision for less invasive surgeries. We also work with the medical school, both in France and in the US. And what is nice with our software is that teachers can develop lessons based on real patient data. It's not just you know, something they see in anatomy courses, so they can really teach real diseases to the student and student can learn the anatomy and the disease's much faster. Me know what is interesting also about our software is that because we don't apply segmentation to the image, it can work on a lot of different diseases. So today, we focused on oncology because we can very well visualize soft tissue, but also on orthopedics visualize the muscles and in vascular because we can very well see the very fine arteries and also enter the lumen of the vessels to visualize the plage. We are very happy to be at LSI for for the first time. Our main goal is to find partners. So we are working with medtech companies that want to add some viewer or planning tool to their solution. And we are here to offer them very fast and very efficiently, the best rendering tool that exists today on the market
