What is IVD?

Interactive Virtual Dissection (IVD), a unique technology developed by Dr. Antonio Bernardo, allows trainees to study and practice transpetrosal approaches and other cranial base surgical techniques via 3D simulation.

Our Surgical Innovations Laboratory for Skull Base Microneurosurgery features stereoscopy and three-dimensional representation to improve trainees’ conceptual grasp of complex anatomy, and to practice procedures in a safe environment where mistakes need not lead to dire consequences.
