The Winship Cancer Institute at Emory Midtown boasts a one-of-a-kind architectural achievement: a massive circular window overhead, called an oculus. The Batson-Cook team faced unique challenges in designing and bringing this feature to life, from cost to fabrication to installation. To achieve this, the team partnered with Enclos Tensile Structures for a complete solution. They brought their expertise in designing, engineering, and building similar structures, like stadium roofs, to create the oculus using AESS trusses, a special fabric, and metal panels sublimated to look like wood. Batson-Cook secured the materials months in advance to avoid price escalation. Because the oculus is an elevated structure, the team could not use a mobile crane to set the trusses due to weight restrictions. To navigate this challenge, the trusses were each constructed in two large sections on the ground and then hoisted into place using two on site tower cranes and connected in the air while suspended. Together, the team was able to transform the patient drop-off area into an "urban room" – a bright, welcoming space that feels both connected to the outdoors and comfortable for patients. It also communicates to patients that the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory Midtown offers unparalleled care, and this stunning architectural feature reflects the team’s commitment to creating an exceptional patient experience. #batsoncook #ExperiencetheBCDifference

VR value in surgical planning for cor triatriatum with Elucis An 18-month old toddler was referred to UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh for repair of complex cor triatriatum where an obstructive membrane in the left atrium was restricting pulmonary blood flow from the left heart. A cardiac MRI was performed with high resolution 4D acquisition. Modelling was performed in virtual reality with Elucis that allowed for a dynamic view of the anatomy from a surgeon’s perspective. This allowed for complete preparation for the expected tissue planes as the membrane was approached through the right atrium. The patient underwent successful open-heart repair with rapid recovery and was discharged home on post-operative day 2.

𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐇𝐃 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐕𝐞𝐚! Dr. Mahesh Kappanayil and his team recently published a study demonstrating the powerful application of Vea's VR software in congenital heart disease (CHD) cases. The study covers a range of complex conditions, including DORV, TGA, VSD, and more. Utilizing CT and MR angiograms, the research highlighted the enhanced accuracy and understanding achieved through detailed 3D visualizations. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: 🔍 Cases Studied: The study examined 17 complex CHD cases, including double outlet right ventricle (DORV), transposition of the great arteries (TGA), and ventricular septal defect (VSD). 🔬 Imaging Modalities: Both CT and MR angiograms were used to capture detailed heart anatomy. 🚀 Impact of VR: The use of Vea's VR visualizations significantly improved interpretation accuracy, from 60.48% to 90.81%, and enhanced spatial understanding, especially among less experienced clinicians.

Helping CEOs & CIOs fix every IT issue in their healthcare system. If it’s broken, call me and your problem is solved.
Congrats to Steve Rankin and my friends at Enlitic! Both are innovators and I can't wait to hear of the next exciting innovation resulting from this partnership. "Enlitic has hired medical imaging veteran Steve Rankin as chief strategy officer." It took me a bit to figure this one out.... "Visage Goes Virtual with Apple VR: Hot on Apple’s launch, Visage Imaging debuted its Visage Ease VP application. " After reading through multiple press releases that say the same thing I found a video on Visage's website that actually shows what the product does. When they say "The visualization of three-dimensional medical imaging in immersive space creates exciting opportunities to improve patient care," what they mean is that you can view the same 2D and 3D rendering that you see on the monitor in front of you, on Apple's new and groundbreaking Google glass. Right now this seems cool but the application is really around the user interface. Will eye and hand gestures make reading more efficient? It probably can, but if the technology is just dumped on radiologists hoping that one will take the time to figure out how to optimize it I don't think this will change the industry. #healthcareit #healthit #imaging #hospital #radiology #radiologist https://lnkd.in/gxzpsFDs

VR/AR head-up display allows visualization of hands, needles, and trajectories all-in-one. It might ease the IR procedures, as demonstrated by this case, where 4 Pulsed Electric Field introducers were accurately placed within 4 minutes using CBCT and #navigation software, with all informations gathered right in the line of sight. Today, we have access more and more to advanced navigation and #robotics, combined with innovative ablation devices such as #PEF, and #augmentedreality can help in the #integration, and thus adoption, of these tools, and then delivering better care.

Cambridge VR research detects early Alzheimer's risk. Virtual reality (VR) technology has been used to detect the early warning signs of Alzheimer's. Work at the University of Cambridge investigated if those at risk of the disease had a poor sense of direction or impairments in spatial navigation. Participants were asked to navigate a virtual environment while wearing VR headsets. Findings showed impairments in spatial navigation, which may develop years or decades before any other symptoms. About 100 asymptomatic adults, aged 43 to 66, used VR to determine and maintain a route from one place to another. 'Accurate diagnosis' Researchers observed impairments in men but not women. It is hoped the results will help develop a diagnostic clinical decision support tool for the NHS. #virtualreality #alzheimers #diagnosis #vr #ar #xr https://lnkd.in/g-eDnu8d

Did you know we have our own VR room in Houston Methodist's MITIEverse? Our journey into virtual reality and the metaverse began with creating patient-specific cardiovascular models for the DeBakey CV Education Center. But our own room's VR models extend beyond the heart. For example, this model of the fibula and accompanying surgical guide, gives visitors a high fidelity glimpse of the work we do with cranio-maxillofacial surgeons treating patients in need of reconstructive work for everything from trauma to osteoradionecrosis following radiotherapy.

After experiencing a stroke or brain injury, patients often face difficulties in using their upper limbs, such as hands and arms which can severely affect their ability to perform everyday tasks. Giovanna Tornatore is the Assistant Director of Occupational Therapy at the Surgical Treatment and Rehabilitation Service (STARS) was recently been awarded the RBWH Foundation Grant to undertake a project aimed at helping patients find new ways to adapt and re-learn these everyday skills and regain a sense of normality. which looks to explore the feasibility of a hybrid approach that combines robotics, virtual reality (VR), and sensor-based therapies with traditional care for upper limb neurorehabilitation. By using a mix of technology modes, Giovanna's project aims to fill the evidence gaps in functional improvements. While existing evidence shows that robotics and VR technologies are effective in improving repetition and quality of movement, there is a gap in the evidence of improving everyday life activities which is essential for patients to regain a sense of normality. Giovanna expects that this person-centred, goal-based therapy approach guided by clinicians could pave the way for more effective and personalized interventions, addressing the persistent challenges in neurological upper limb rehabilitation, and contributing to advancements in therapy intensity and outcomes.
