Posted on by mpecck

This poster “Accelerated Medical Computing Toolkit and GPU Accelerated Importance-Driven Volume Visualization” was presented in the Medical Imaging category at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC 2015) held in Silicon Valley from March 17-20, 2015. The content of the poster was adapted from “GPU Accelerated Transfer Function Generation for Importance-Driven Volume Visualization,” which received the Best Poster Award (Grand Prize) at the GPU Technology Workshop South East Asia (GTW SEA 2014) held in Singapore on July 10, 2014.

Medical simulation system for catheterization

Posted on by mpecck

This picture of me was taken in the 1990s when I was developing a medical simulation system for catheterization. In the photo, you can see that I hung catheters on the window panel next to the door of my office.

The simulation system was a new concept and a novel approach in providing physicians with a real-time interactive simulation of vascular catheterization procedures. Its purpose was to enhance training, as well as improve pretreatment planning and the design of medical devices. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/archive/20120612/research/visible/vhp_conf/chui/index.htm

Implantable artificial pancreas

Posted on by mpecck

This is a picture of our prototype implantable artificial pancreas that we have been developing. It was exhibited in National University of Singapore Science & Technology Exhibition in March 2015, and later showcased at “The Future of Us” Exhibition organized by the Singapore Government as part of the SG50 celebration, held between between 1 December 2015 and 8 March 2016. This device will require many years of dedicated research and development before it can become a clinically viable alternative to pancreas transplant.
