Open Source Image Guided Surgery

The mission of MEDLIBRE is to advance image guided surgery based on open source software development.

The open source Artma Virtual Patient framework provides

Real-time visualization of surgical instruments relative to the patient’s anatomy by fusion of live endoscope or microscope video with stereotactic medical imaging data (augmented reality)

Real-time broadcast of intraoperative data via telecommunication networks

Real-time intraoperative access to a second opinion via interactive telecommunication from a remote expert


The clinical evaluation is provided by the Karl Landsteiner Institut for Biotelematics.
