Enables Real-Time Healthcare: Advantech’s USM-500 IGX and Smart Surgery Technology Pioneering a New Era of Precision in Kidney Transplant Surgery
12/25/2024
Kidney Transplant Challenges: A Test of Precision and Skill
Every day, thousands of patients worldwide suffering from kidney failure desperately await life-saving kidney transplants. The success of these surgeries often depends on a surgeon’s ability to accurately identify and manage the renal artery, renal vein, and ureter. However, traditional methods that rely on manual visual inspection face challenges due to the complexity of anatomical structures and the risk of human error, significantly increasing the risks and difficulty of such procedures.
Advantech USM-500 IGX Transforming Surgical Precision
To address these challenges, Advantech has introduced the USM-500 IGX, a high-performance embedded AI computing platform specifically designed for smart surgical applications. Equipped with the Nvidia IGX system and Holoscan AI software stack, the USM-500 IGX combines powerful computational capabilities with real-time inferencing, tailored to meet the unique demands of medical applications. This platform is expected to not only provide real-time imaging support for minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopy, but also efficiently operate advanced medical imaging recognition systems like MISARS, further enhancing surgical precision and efficiency, thereby enabling safer and more effective surgical operations.MISARS: Revolutionizing Kidney Transplant Surgery
MISARS, developed by Smart Surgery Technology, is a revolutionary AI solution designed to address the anatomical recognition challenges of kidney transplant surgeries. This technology, anticipated to be deployed in collaboration with the leading national hospital in Singapore and Taiwan, is projected to achieve outstanding results. Through the operation of MISARS on the USM-500 IGX platform, typical surgical operation times are expected to be reduced by over 30%, with a significant decrease in the risk of postoperative complications. This breakthrough solution will likely empower surgeons to more accurately identify renal arteries, veins, and ureters, improving surgical success rates and patient outcomes.Transforming Public Perceptions of Organ Donation
The Role of Advantech USM-500 IGX in Driving Innovation
None of this would be possible without the advanced hardware support provided by Advantech. The USM-500 IGX, with its exceptional computational performance and stable real-time responsiveness, enables the MISARS development team to execute a rigorous process from dataset annotation to model training, culminating in clinical deployment. By integrating object detection and color segmentation models, the USM-500 IGX is expected to enable real-time recognition of critical anatomical structures, such as kidneys and renal arteries, providing crucial imaging assistance and precise surgical guidance.
Advantech And Smart Surgery Technology Are Redefining the Future of Surgery
This collaboration highlights the profound synergy between technological innovation and medical expertise, transforming AI-assisted surgeries from concept to clinical reality and driving the evolution of smart healthcare. Looking ahead, Advantech and Smart Surgery Technology will continue to deepen their collaboration, pushing the boundaries of existing technological limitations. The integration of MISARS with USM-500 IGX is set to equip medical teams with more efficient and accurate tools, redefining the benchmark for smart surgeries. We look forward to partnering with more medical institutions to deliver more precise and effective solutions to the global healthcare market, advancing medical technology to new heights and bringing greater hope and health to patients worldwide.
