text: With funding from the Cardiac Center, clinicians like Jolley are leveraging the capabilities of VR to educate surgical trainees, develop novel interventions and deliver highly-individualized, precision care.
  Surgeons use 3D imaging technology — such as 3D PDFs and printed models — to carefully plan interventions and optimize patient care. In the 3D Imaging Review Suite, clinicians can review a patient’s anatomy in multiple modalities, including VR, ensuring they have all of the information necessary to make clinical decisions about a patient’s care.
  “We’ve gone from 3D technology being a helpful modality to being a routine clinical tool,” says Reena Ghosh, MD, who runs the 3D Imaging Review Suite with cardiac MRI attending Kevin Whitehead, MD, PhD. “Now a surgeon can walk through a patient’s heart before a case and figure out the best approach for that child.”
