Watch this video to learn more about DASI Simulations and how valuable predictive modeling can be for surgical pre-planning in the TAVR space.

Proud of Teagan Sirset and DASI Simulations team for capturing the story of how #cardiologists and #surgeons are able to elevate their structural heart programs with advanced modeling. With two FDA-cleared products and CMS reimbursement, we are happy to see a growing number of structural heart centers start to take advantage of the power of predictive modeling. Watch this video to learn about how valuable predictive modeling can be when it comes to planning for complex anatomies as well as thinking #lifetimemanagement for patients.

Please watch this wonderful multinational video, "Global Perspectives on Surgical Simulation" produced by members of the American Academy of Otolaryngology and their international colleagues. Of course my contribution, along with Maria Karen Capuz and Dra. Geraldine Luna, has to do with ultrasound!

This #OpenAccess study on #PhotonCountingCT is now in print and available for free: https://lnkd.in/eZ5MCQBj 👉Photon Counting CT offers new possibilities for CT in #postoperative patients, by combining the increased spatial resolution with #TinPrefiltration and #VirtualMonoenergeticImaging. This allows to significantly improve the visualization of bone healing next to metal implants. #Citation: Marth AA, et al. Invest Radiol. 2024;59(8):545-553. #Figure: Metal artifacts (asterisks) that are visible next to metal screws in standard polychromatic images are significantly reduced in images with tin prefiltration and virtual monoenergetic imaging at 120 keV for patients undergoing photon counting CT. Thanks to this technique the osseous bridging in the subtalar joint can be better visualized in this patient with arthrodesis.

it’s Time to test SonoNurse Exoskeleton: The Power of Leveraging Pre-existing humain_brain Neural Connections Developing expertise in tasks requiring hand-eye coordination can vary significantly depending on the complexity and frequency of practice. For instance, simple activities like juggling or typing might take a few weeks to months. Specialized professions such as hairdressing or surgery can require years of training and practice. Complex arts or sports, like playing the piano or painting, may take 5 to 10 years or more to master. Medical procedures, such as ultrasound-guided needles , also need a considerable amount of practice to achieve proficiency. We are excited to announce that we will be conducting tests to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided procedures with classical freehand technique versus using the Sononurse exoskeleton, in both : clinical settings and virtual reality. A special thanks to our collaborating researchers at ETS, Concordia, Sainte-Justine Hospital and Maisonneuve Rosemont Hospital .

Congratulations to Dr. Roisin Loughran and Professor Fergal Mc Caffery of #RSRC Dundalk Institute of Technology for: 🚀 **Revolutionizing Surgery: The Power of YOLOv8 in Cholecystectomy Instrument Detection!** 🏥🔍 In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, the integration of cutting-edge technology is not just a trend—it's a necessity. Our latest research, "Cholecystectomy Surgical Instrument Detection Using Variants of YOLOv8," dives deep into how advanced object detection can transform the realm of Computer Aided Laparoscopy (CAL). Imagine a surgical environment where instruments are accurately localized and tracked in real-time, enhancing the surgeon's ability to navigate complex anatomical structures. With YOLOv8, we are not just imagining it; we are making it a reality! This state-of-the-art algorithm boasts improved detection accuracy and speed, empowering surgeons with enhanced visualization and precision during procedures. 🔑 **Key Highlights:** - **Enhanced Surgical Precision:** By leveraging deep learning and computer vision, we can significantly reduce surgical errors and improve patient outcomes. - **Real-Time Instrument Tracking:** Our research showcases how YOLOv8 can seamlessly integrate into CAL systems, providing automated tool recognition that streamlines surgical workflows. - **Benchmarking Excellence:** The results from our study not only benefit the surgical community but also contribute to the ongoing evolution of the YOLO algorithm, setting new standards in object detection. As we stand on the brink of a new era in surgical technology, the implications of our findings are profound. The future of surgery is here, and it’s powered by innovation! Join us in this exciting journey towards a more efficient, safer, and data-driven surgical landscape. Together, we can redefine what’s possible in the operating room! 💡✨ #Surgery #Innovation #YOLOv8 #ComputerVision #DeepLearning #HealthcareTechnology #Cholecystectomy #SurgicalPrecision #Research #MedicalAI

With its powerful magnetic fields, it unveils intricate details of our internal anatomy without a hint of #radiation, making it a go-to choice, especially for delicate #brain examinations, #spine and #joints. But here's the kicker – it's not always the knight in shining armor! In the fast-paced realm of emergency medicine, where every moment counts, #ultrasound and #CTscans steal the show. These methods swiftly detect internal injuries or rule critical conditions, offering rapid insights compared to the time-consuming nature of #MRI scans. So, next time you hear someone singing praises solely for MRIs, remember, it's not always about being the best – it's about being the best fit for the task at hand.  𝐄𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 #𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 #𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬. #ImagingInnovations #MythBustedMRI #HealthcareHeroes
