Experience

1. Clinical Application Specialist

   Philips

   Jul 2024 — Present · Hyderabad, IN

   Educating and training doctors & technologists in the effective use of Philips clinical tools, including HeartNavigator, EchoNavigator, VesselNavigator, Xperguide and EmboGuide, to enhance procedural precision and patient outcomes.\"1. HeartNavigatorAssists in structural heart procedures (e.g, TAVI/TAVR, mitral valve repair).Uses pre-procedural CT scans to create a 3D model of the heart for precise planning and guidance.Enhances catheter positioning by overlaying CT images onto live fluoroscopy.2. EchoNavigatorIntegrates echocardiography (TEE/ICE) with fluoroscopy in real time.Used in complex structural heart interventions (e.g, left atrial appendage closure, valve repair).Improves visualization of soft tissue structures, aiding precise catheter navigation.3. VesselNavigatorDesigned for vascular interventions (e.g, endovascular aortic repair, peripheral interventions).Uses pre-acquired CT or MR images as a 3D roadmap over live X-ray images.Reduces contrast agent usage and radiation exposure.4. XperGuideHelps in needle-based interventions (e.g, biopsies, tumor ablation).Provides real-time 3D needle trajectory planning and live fluoroscopic guidance.Enhances accuracy in minimally invasive procedures.5. EmboGuideSpecifically for embolization procedures (e.g, liver tumors, uterine fibroids).Uses pre-procedural imaging to create 3D vessel maps.Helps identify optimal catheter positions, improving embolization accuracy.
