Simbionix

Simbionix (Booth 1840) is unveiling its PROcedure Rehearsal Studio, a medical simulator that allows clinicians to create practice scenarios based on their patient’s unique pathology and anatomy using medical imaging.

The proprietary technology rapidly loads a patient’s CT and MRI scan data from a CD or local PACS server onto the Simbionix Angio Mentor. Then, the PROcedure Rehearsal Studio generates a digital 3D model of the patient’s anatomy from the scan data. The real-time 3D imaging system leverages virtual reality endovascular simulators to create a simulated interventional environment that provides all the tactile feedback of a real procedure on a real patient. And not just any patient: your patient.

The PROcedure Rehearsal Studio lets physicians rehearse on virtual patients.
