Advanced Real-Time Visualization for Robotic Heart Surgery

Originally published at: Advanced Real-Time Visualization for Robotic Heart Surgery | NVIDIA Technical Blog

Researchers at the Harvard Biorobotics Laboratory are harnessing the power of GPUs to generate real-time volumetric renderings of patients’ hearts. The team has built a robotic system to autonomously steer commercially available cardiac catheters that can acquire ultrasound images from within the heart. They tested their system in the clinic and reported their results at…
