Defining a New Paradigm in Disease with Intelligent Image-Guided Interventions

Ongoing Research Projects

Clinical Evaluation of a 3D Guidance platform for percutaneous liver, kidney, and soft tissue tumor biopsy and/or ablation as an adjunct to standard image guidance (in concert with MediView Inc): pending

Evaluation of efficacy and outcomes of percutaneous tissue ablation and transarterial embolization: pending

Surgery and interventional care using advanced image guidance: Non-therapeutic research trial initiated to create a data repository of retrospective and prospective data of patients undergoing treatment of diseases in various organ systems with surgical and non-surgical approaches using advanced imaging with a goal of evaluating short- and long-term outcomes to improve patient treatment and care.

Training artificial intelligence to predict the possibility of a surgical intervention in patients with small bowel obstruction: Ongoing research project to build and test a predictive pathway machine learning model to assess the management of care for patients who present to the emergency department with small bowel obstruction.

Use of Hololens for communication in education: The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of AR-based supervision and communication during IR procedures.

Angiocrine sIND Therapeutic Research Trials: Specialized research utilizing E-CEL UVEC cells for patients with persistent anal stenosis and abdominal fistula’s who have failed standard of care treatment.

Ground Glass Opacity Artificial Intelligence Project: Develop a deep learning model that accurately predicts multi-modal biomolecular profiles of early stage lung lesions based on imaging + clinical/demographic data, and compare multiple model architectures, pretrained vs. de-novo, presence and absence of clinical supporting data, 3D vs 2.5D image input.
