CHICAGO, IL & EXTON, PA — SimBioSys® and Ricoh 3D for Healthcare, LLC, a subsidiary of Ricoh USA, have entered into a distribution agreement to expand access to TumorSight™ Viz, an FDA-cleared 3D visualization platform designed to support breast cancer surgery.
TumorSight Viz transforms standard breast MRI scans into detailed three-dimensional images that show tumor size, position, and orientation in relation to surrounding tissue. The technology is intended to help surgeons plan more precise, personalized procedures, balancing the need to remove tumors effectively while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
The latest version, TumorSight Viz 1.3, features faster results, advanced segmentation accuracy, and seamless integration with hospital imaging systems. Clinical validation across more than 1,600 retrospective cases from nine institutions has shown strong accuracy and consistency, further underscoring its potential for widespread use.
Stacey Stevens, president and CEO of SimBioSys, said the partnership with Ricoh is designed to accelerate adoption. “Ricoh’s reach, reputation, and commitment to advancing surgical innovation make them an ideal partner to help bring TumorSight Viz to more clinical teams and patients,” Stevens said.
For Ricoh, the collaboration builds on its healthcare services and relationships with surgical oncology teams nationwide. Derek Mathers, director of clinical applications at Ricoh 3D for Healthcare, emphasized the importance of visualization in surgery. “Through our collaboration with SimBioSys, TumorSight Viz brings new clarity to surgical planning—empowering oncoplastic techniques that expand breast-conserving options and help deliver more consistent outcomes for patients,” Mathers said.
The agreement follows FDA clearance of TumorSight Viz 1.3 and marks a step forward in making AI-powered digital tools more widely available in cancer care. By combining SimBioSys’ software with Ricoh’s distribution and service capabilities, the companies aim to give more clinicians access to technologies that improve surgical decision-making and patient outcomes.
