Researchers at the Georgia Tech College of Computing have developed software that lets pediatric cardiac surgeons manipulate a digital 3D model of the patient's actual heart and explore surgical options before they ever set foot in an operating room. The Surgem software gives surgeons a better understanding of each child's unique heart defect and greatly increases the long-term success of the surgery.
