Avatar Medical, a multi-award-winning medical imaging company, announced at the Journées francophones de radiologie (JFR 2026) in Paris that it has obtained CE marking for Avatar Medical Vision, making it the first CE-marked software compatible with a glasses-free 3D medical screen. The certification paves the way for commercialization across Europe and represents a significant step forward in how clinicians visualize and interact with medical images.
The software platform provides instant 3D visualization of medical images, supporting analysis and surgical planning. Unlike traditional approaches that require headsets, glasses-free 3D allows surgeons and patients to benefit from the same depth perception without wearing anything on their heads. This eliminates the need to clean headsets, manage cables, and troubleshoot sometimes temperamental hardware, making the technology far better suited to daily clinical practice from consultation through surgical planning.
This new CE marking strengthens Avatar Medical’s international development. After an initial CE marking obtained in 2025 for Avatar Medical Vision, this milestone specifically covers the glasses-free 3D visualization features. With regulatory authorizations now secured in both Europe and the United States, the company has a solid foundation to expand its deployment across two major healthcare markets.
The announcement also marks a new step toward visual intelligence for surgery throughout the care pathway. Avatar Medical’s ambition extends from consultation to surgical planning and the operating room. By facilitating the understanding of each patient’s specific anatomy across several specialties, this milestone reinforces two key moments in that pathway: consultation and surgical planning.
Founded in 2020, Avatar Medical is a pioneer in visual intelligence for surgery. Its flagship solution, Avatar Medical Vision, instantly and without segmentation transforms CT and MRI scans into interactive, realistic 3D visualizations, giving clinicians a more intuitive way to understand anatomy, plan procedures, collaborate, and communicate with patients. Born from research conducted at Institut Curie and Institut Pasteur, the company collaborates with more than 20 hospitals in the United States and Europe.

The CE marking is expected to accelerate adoption of glasses-free 3D visualization in European clinical settings, where the technology’s practicality and ease of use could drive broader implementation. As healthcare systems seek tools that enhance surgical precision and patient communication, Avatar Medical’s regulatory milestone positions the company to address those needs across two of the world’s largest markets.
