Doctors Cut Congenital Heart Surgery Prep From 4 Hours To Seconds
Matthew Jolley's team at CHOP built the model on MONAI and Auto3DSeg, mapping each child's heart before any scalpel touches skin.
- About 1% of live births carry a congenital heart defect, 2.4 million Americans live with one.
- Boston Children's already models roughly 500 heart surgeries a year with the same open tools.
- CHOP targets 200 modeled cases this year; over twenty children's hospitals run similar programs.
Why it matters: Four hours cut to seconds is the fact; open source is the label NVIDIA sells it under.
