Preview Shoulder
Overview
The Preview Shoulder software, now often referred to as ProVoyance® Shoulder, is an advanced AI-powered 3D surgical planning tool developed by Genesis Software Innovations (GSI) for orthopedic surgeons. It is specifically designed to assist in developing comprehensive pre-operative shoulder plans based on patient CT imaging studies. The software transforms CT imaging into detailed 3D bone reconstructions, providing an unparalleled understanding of the patient’s anatomy. Surgeons can digitally perform surgical planning by visualizing the patient’s shoulder anatomy as a 3D model, allowing for precise placement and optimization of implant size, location, and orientation for both anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The platform performs automated computerized segmentation and reconstruction of imaging data, streamlining preparation cycles and improving communication across surgical teams through comprehensive planning documentation. It is intended for adult patients only and should not be used for diagnostic purposes.

What Physicians Need to Know
Leverage Preview Shoulder's 3D visualization and automated segmentation to streamline pre-operative planning for shoulder arthroplasty, optimizing implant selection and placement. The intuitive interface and AI-driven insights can enhance surgical confidence and potentially reduce OR time. While the software provides robust planning, always integrate its output with your clinical judgment and patient-specific considerations. The ability to plan without external image preparation can significantly improve workflow efficiency.
Preview Shoulder functions as a standalone application that imports DICOM CT data. For seamless integration into a broader radiology ecosystem, consider how the generated surgical reports and 3D models can be exported and accessed within existing PACS, RIS, or EHR systems. While direct PACS integration methods are not detailed, the DICOM compatibility allows for data exchange. Future enhancements might include more direct worklist integration or automated result pushing to further optimize the reading room workflow.

What the Web Says
Preview Shoulder, developed by Genesis Software Innovations, is a 3D pre-operative planning software designed for orthopedic surgeons to plan shoulder arthroplasty procedures using CT imaging data. It allows surgeons to visualize patient anatomy in 3D and digitally place implants to optimize size, location, and orientation. The software received FDA 510(k) clearance in May 2021, making it the first orthopedic solution under the FDA's new QIH classification for AI-based software solutions. It aims to improve surgical efficiency, reduce operating room time, and enhance patient outcomes.
Overall: PositiveStrengths
- Enables 3D visualization of shoulder anatomy for precise planning.
- Facilitates digital placement of implants to optimize size, location, and orientation.
- Aims to improve surgical efficiency and reduce operating room time.
- Designed to enhance patient outcomes.
- FDA 510(k) cleared, including under the new QIH classification for AI-based software.
- Developed by an international team of shoulder reconstruction specialists, AI engineers, and visual gaming programmers.
Limitations
- No publicly disclosed pricing details; interested parties must contact the vendor.
- Requires experience in usage and clinical assessment for proper use.
- Does not provide a diagnosis or surgical recommendation; the surgeon is responsible for implant selection and placement.
- Limited external validation reported in systematic reviews of AI applications in shoulder surgery.
- General concern in the field about data bias in AI algorithms leading to potential ethical dilemmas.
- Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
