    “Following our due diligence and the successful EGM, we are excited to kickstart our Scan to
    SurgeryTM initiative with this software acquisition and investment into an Australian-owned and
    operated medical-grade 3D printing facility.
    Scan to SurgeryTM will enable medical practitioners to visualise radiological images using our
    proprietary Volumetric Rendering Platform, deploy our Artificial Intelligence models to segment
    relevant anatomy and use the integrated Virtual Surgical Planning software to manipulate this
    anatomy and design patient specific medical implants and guides that will be 3D printed at the
    AAE facility and delivered for surgical use.
    All this in one piece of software.”
