EchoPixel showed technology at TCT 2019 that creates live holograms in the cath lab from 3-D TEE imaging. It projects the holograms on a special display screen that does not require the user to wear 3-D glasses. The interventional cardiologist can use hand movements and a foot switch to move the image around without breaking the sterile field. It offers a new way to visualize catheters, device positioning and deployment in structural heart procedures. (Photos by Dave Fornell)

This is a realistic cath lab simulator training set up shown by Mentice. The patient has respiratory chest motion, eyes blink and it allows for radial or femoral catheterization. The simulator allows for PCI training. When not used for cath training, the patient simulator can be used by other hospital staff training or EMS training.
