Materialise Mimics for Thoracic Surgery
Achieving precise, lung-sparing resections while ensuring an adequate margin is a constant challenge and requires navigating complex anatomy. Our solution supports you from precise planning through confident execution. Seamlessly integrated into your workflow, Materialise Mimics for Thoracic Surgery is easily accessible inside and outside the OR — anytime.
Benefits
42% improved patient impact
Achieve improvements in 42% of cases by targeting the correct segment or lobe, preserving unaffected tissue, and ensuring adequate margins.1
Intraoperative assistance for surgical precision
Access Mimics in the OR via your phone, console, or screen — no installation needed. Visualize dissection paths, highlight branches, and simulate cuts for precise surgical planning.
Quick start, seamless fit
Start quickly with an intuitive interface designed to simplify surgical planning. Leverage 3D for every patient, even with non-contrasted scans, while saving time with expert-reviewed 3D models.
Limit OR time
Easily identify critical anatomic variations, not detected in CT, to reduce surgery risks or delays in 1 out of 3 procedures.1
Your partner in security and compliance
Protect patient data with industry-leading privacy and security standards. Designed to comply with GDPR and HIPAA, certified with ISO27001 and ISO27701, and trusted by 6,000 institutions worldwide.

Expert-reviewed 3D models
Rely on expert-reviewed 3D models to save time. Segmental planes are based precisely on both arterial and bronchial branches. Compare the 3D models with CT through a contour overlay.
Automation-driven resection planning
Visualize the affected (sub)segments instantly based on a desired margin. Take full control and adjust the planned resection through an intuitive interface.
Intraoperative assistance
Identify anatomic variations, highlight branches supplying the target resection tissue, and simulate individual branch cuts.
Compatible with non-contrasted CT
Leverage 3D for all patients, even when only a non-contrasted CT scan is available.
Accessible from any device
Access Mimics easily in the OR via your phone, robotic console, or an OR screen — without the need for installation.
PACS-integrated image upload
Easily transfer your images directly from your PACS to Materialise.

Mimics offers excellent 3D model quality and the ability to identify segments, critical anatomy, and plan lung resections with a safe margin.
I was pleased to use Mimics to reliably reconstruct patient anatomy prior to this segmentectomy. In addition to enhanced user-friendliness, the updated version introduces new tools that support both the planning and step-by-step teaching of segmentectomy procedures.
The ability to plan and simulate individual branch cuts is a game-changer. When a targeted branch is too short to staple, the intraoperative software feature offers the necessary insights to consider a more extensive resection and evaluate the impact of such a decision.
