ImaGiNe Seldinger: First simulator for Seldinger technique and angiography training

In vascular interventional radiology, procedures generally start with the Seldinger technique to access the vasculature, using a needle through which a guidewire is inserted, followed by navigation of catheters within the vessels. Visual and tactile skills are learnt in a patient apprenticeship which is expensive and risky for patients. We propose a training alternative through a new virtual si...

[First step: the clinical question].

En el año 2003 se inauguró en la Revista Médica de Chile una Sección titulada “Medicina Basada en Evidencia” (MBE). En concordancia con el ciclo de la MBE, uno de los primeros artículos publicados en dicha Sección se centró en la formulación de una pregunta clínica adecuada. Desde entonces hasta ahora, ha habido un desarrollo importante en el ámbito de la MBE, siendo oportuno actualizar los con...

IMAGINE - The IMAGe engINE

The tremendous computing power needed for the inter­ active processing and generation of visual information is more and more becoming a major technology driver in the consumer market. Illustrative are the bench­ marks used by Mac World magazine recently at the in­ troduction of the new generation of Power PC MACs (a major commercial event) used to compare the process­ ing power of the Power PC ...

The Imagine Stream Processor

The Imagine Stream Processor is a single-chip programmable media processor with 48 parallel ALUs. At 400 MHz, this translates to a peak arithmetic rate of 16 GFLOPS on single-precision data and 32 GOPS on 16bit fixed-point data. The scalability of Imagine’s programming model and architecture enable it to achieve such high arithmetic rates. Imagine executes applications that have been mapped to ...
