The consultation phase before an intervention is a fundamental moment to clarify doubts and define one’s goals. One of the most common challenges for patients is being able to imagine a visual estimate of changes to their body. During the visit to Dr. Roberto Roddi’s office, the use of the Crisalix 3D simulation offers concrete support to set the path with greater clarity.
How Crisalix technology works during the visit
Crisalix is a three-dimensional digital simulation platform designed to show a preview of the possible post-operative outcome. The system uses photogrammetric algorithms, artificial intelligence and advanced morphological analysis to develop a three-dimensional model of the patient’s figure.
Unlike traditional two-dimensional images, the models generated by this software can be zoomed in, rotated, and viewed from various angles. In this way, it is possible to examine the hypothesis of change with dynamic and complete perspectives.
The operational path in the studio
The creation of the 3D image follows simple and quick steps that take place directly during the specialist consultation:
- Image acquisition: we start with the taking of some photographs of the person following specific visual parameters.
- Fast processing: The surgeon enters these images into the Crisalix software, which generates the initial model in minutes.
- Shared customization: the system allows changes to be made to the 3D simulation in real time, adapting the assumptions to individual preferences and characteristics.
The benefits of 3D support in planning
On a clinical level, 3D simulation offers valuable help in planning the intervention. This tool assists the doctor in the evaluation of volumes, in the management of any asymmetries and in the definition of the design of the incisions.
From an emotional and psychological point of view, observing a visual approximation reduces pre-operative anxiety. This image-driven dialogue helps to set realistic expectations and allows the patient to make more informed decisions.
A visual guide and not an absolute guarantee
It is essential to highlight that the Crisalix 3D simulation should be understood solely as a decision-making aid and a visual guide. As accurate as it is, it cannot guarantee one hundred percent the final outcome of the surgery.
The definitive surgical outcome depends on multiple biological variables, such as tissue response, personal anatomical characteristics and healing phases. Clinical evaluation and surgeon experience remain the fundamental pillars of any treatment.
