NU Tech 2010 to Feature Medical Device Demonstration
FAIN-Biomedical to Show Endovascular Evaluator used in Medical Training
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, January 15, 2010 /Science and Research PR News/ -- Nu Tech 2010, a one-day conference focusing on investing in collaborative technologies (www.nutechshowcase.org), will feature a demonstration by Japan-based FAIN-Biomedical, Inc. of an endovascular evaluator designed for use in medical training and surgical practice.
Known as EVE, The FAIN device is the result of more than 20 years of joint research between engineers and physicians. This endovascular evaluator is a model of the human vascular system created from CT and MRI data. A high-precision model, it provides a realistic simulation environment that can be used for surgery rehearsal, medical student training, as well as medical devices and procedural evaluation.
NU Tech 2010 will feature more than 20 breakthrough technologies from the fields of life science, biotechnology and engineering on February 10. Starting at 7:30 a.m. at the Sheraton Imperial, RTP, NU Tech 2010 will feature technology developments from Nagoya University, home to four Nobel Prize-winning professors in physics and chemistry (www.nagoya-u.ac.jp/en/), North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and East Carolina University. More than 30 representatives from Nagoya University and the Japan Science and Technology Agency will be present to network with area scientists and researchers.
Featured speakers include:
• North Carolina Secretary of Commerce, J. Keith Crisco
• Vice President of Eisai, Inc., Dr. Ray W. Wood
• Director of Aisin AW and President of EQUOS Research, Masao Ando
• Nagoya University President Dr. Michinari Hamaguchi
• President and CEO of the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, E. Norris Tolson.
Registration for the event is free of charge and includes continental breakfast, lunch and reception. To register for the event and learn more about Nu Tech 2010, visit www.nutechshowcase.org.
About Nagoya University:
Nagoya University (NU) was originally established as a temporary hospital and medical school in 1871 in Nagoya City, Japan. Since then it has been playing various key roles in the education and research scenes in Japan. Home to four Nobel Prize-winning professors in physics and chemistry, NU is on the forefront of Japan's technology transfer space. NU faculty invented the high performance blue light emitting device widely used in displays worldwide. NU currently has 16,000 full-time students that study and work with 2,000 full-time faculty and 2,000 staff members. The university includes 13 graduate schools, three research institutions and 18 research centers.
About the EVE:
The endovascular surgery simulator, EVE, precisely reconstructs the human vascular system from CT or MRI scans enabling surgical training, surgery rehearsal, and the simulation of real diseases. EVE is made of a special silicone that recreates the elasticity and friction of human vasculature, simulating the sensation and behavior of catheter manipulation during an endovascular surgery. The body of EVE is composed of 16 modules, each one representing a segment of vasculature. All modules are connected using special connectors designed not to interfere with your simulation. This enables the easy exchange of modules and the assembly of different ready-made models to accurately reflect an actual patients condition. Current simulations modules include:
• Cerebral Artery Embolism with coil or balloon.
• Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) with a balloon or stents.
• Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
• Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS)
• Transcatheter Hepatic Artery Embolization (THAE)
• Percutaneous Transluminal Recanalization (PTR)
• Catheter and Guide Wire Insertion
• Aortic Stents Grafts
Fain Biomedical can provide customized modules based on DICOM data for a specific patient or disease case study disease. For more information, visit www.fain-biomedical.com.
