Axis Three Adds Leading U.S. Plastic Surgeons to its Medical Advisory Board.LOS ANGELES -- Axis Three, the leader and pioneer of surgical simulation tools for the medical industry, today announced that Steven Teitelbaum MD FACS FACS Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. FACS abbr. Fellow of the American College of Surgeons FACS fluorescence-activated cell sorter. , and William P. Adams, Jr., MD, have joined its elite medical advisory board and are actively participating in the beta testing (programming) beta testing - Testing a pre-release (potentially unreliable) version of a piece of software by making it available to selected users. This term derives from early 1960s terminology for product cycle checkpoints, first used at IBM but later standard throughout the of its XS-300 Surgical Simulation Platform. "We are thrilled and excited that renowned surgeons of Dr. Teitelbaum's and Dr. Adams' professional stature have agreed to join our advisory board. Both are at the pinnacle of their profession and bring leading-edge experience and a pioneering mindset mind·set or mind-set n. 1.

See paradigm. in plastic surgery for breast procedures, particularly for the recently re-approved silicon implants." Axis Three has recently commenced beta testing of its XS-300 Surgical Simulation Platform, the industry's first 3D imaging system that provides accurate volumetric volumetric /vol·u·met·ric/ (vol?u-met´rik) pertaining to or accompanied by measurement in volumes. vol·u·met·ric adj. Of or relating to measurement by volume. measurements of actual patients and simulated breast procedures. "3D simulation has been around for a couple of years, but this is the first system that actually creates an accurate model of a patient, and provides usable volumetric data with realistic simulation," comments Blumel. "I am excited to be testing the XS-300," added Teitelbaum. "At last we have a system that delivers the true potential of 3D imaging and provides a tool that enhances the experience for my patients and me." Dr. Adams adds: "The XS-300 and simulation tools will help eliminate patient uncertainty while providing surgeons with an implant selection tool. The result will be better outcomes for both the patient and surgeon." About Axis Three Axis Three is the leader and pioneer of surgical simulation tools for the medical industry.
