GMV technology for the NAVIPHY project

The NAVIPHY project, subsidized by the European Union (EU) through funds of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), falls within the Ministry of Science, Research and Universities’ research challenges R&D call

The project’s goal is to evaluate the use of intraoperative images when radiotherapy is being administered to the cancer site after tumor removal within the operating theater. It is likewise exploring the use of multimodal imaging techniques (CT, ultrasound, etc) for a better anatomical representation of patients as well as surgical navigation tools to facilitate up-to-date and individualized information, thus progressing towards personalization of the treatment.

To carry out the project a consortium has been created made up by GMV, the Research Institute of the Hospital Universitario La Paz (IdiPAZ), the Virtual Reality and Modelling Group (Grupo de Modelado y Realidad Virtual: GMRV) of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and the Canary Island Healthcare Research Foundation (Fundación Canaria de Investigación Sanitaria: FUNCANIS). NAVIPHY, short for “Navigation, physical simulation and imaging in intraoperative procedures” is a 45-month, one-million-euro project.
