Imagine a world where surgeons can see through blood during an operation—where the “invisible” becomes visible, and critical tissue is never obscured by bleeding. That’s the promise behind HemoLucence, the latest innovation from Ocutrx Technologies, and it’s poised to set a new standard for surgical visualization.
HemoLucence is a real-time 3D visualization tool developed by Ocutrx’s Genius Labs. Its claim to fame: the ability to render blood virtually transparent during surgery. This is achieved through a combination of RT3D (real-time 3D) digital volumetric reconstruction and advanced de-scattering algorithms. By analyzing how light interacts with blood and tissue, the system reconstructs detailed 3D images of what lies beneath, even when those structures would normally be hidden by blood.
Advanced Algorithms: HemoLucence collects images from multiple angles, distinguishing between light absorbed by blood and light scattered by red blood cells.
3D Rendering: The technology reconstructs tissue structure and texture in three dimensions, providing surgeons with a clear, detailed view—even in the midst of bleeding.
Surgical Integration: The system is paired with the OR-Bot 3D Surgical Microscope, which is heading into clinical trials in 2025 or 2026.
Bleeding is a constant challenge in surgery, often obscuring the very tissues surgeons need to see. Traditional visualization tools can’t always keep up, especially in complex or high-stakes procedures. HemoLucence aims to change that dynamic:
“The ability to render blood ‘transparent’ now makes the unseen, in the heat of surgical battle, seen, creating another layer of safety and confidence for surgeons that traditional visual aids can’t provide,”
says Dr. Leonel Hunt, Ocutrx Medical Advisor and attending surgeon at Cedars-Sinai
Neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Louis adds that this breakthrough “helps overcome those challenges and is a significant step forward in making surgery safer and more efficient”
At its core, HemoLucence leverages mathematics and physics to analyze light’s behavior through blood-filled areas. This approach isn’t just theoretical; Ocutrx reports visualization accuracy down to about three millimeters—a level of detail that could make a real difference in the operating room.
Ocutrx isn’t stopping at medicine. The company’s recent acquisition of Spectrum Advanced Manufacturing Technologies signals ambitions across aerospace, spaceflight, and defense. With 42 issued patents and more than 50 in the pipeline, Ocutrx is clearly betting big on RT3D visualization as a transformative technology.
While HemoLucence is still awaiting clinical trials, its potential is hard to ignore. Real-time 3D visualization has already shown clear benefits in surgical planning and intraoperative decision-making, improving confidence and outcomes for surgeons. If HemoLucence delivers on its promise, it could become a must-have tool in operating rooms worldwide.
The ability to “see through blood” during surgery isn’t science fiction anymore. With HemoLucence, Ocutrx is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in surgical visualization—offering a glimpse into a future where no detail is ever out of sight
