In this YouTube video, EngineeringTV interviews NI engineer PJ Tanzillo about the Visica 2 Treatment System, a minimally invasive device created by Sanarus and used to treat benign tumors.
The procedure involves local anesthesia and a real-time, ultrasound-guided approach that is virtually painless. View the video below to learn more about how Sanrus used the NI CompactRIO platform, NI LabVIEW Real-Time, and the LabVIEW FPGA Module to develop a flexible and reliable GUI and control system under extreme time-to-market pressure to deliver a device that dramatically reduces the emotional and physical discomfort of patients undergoing tumor treatment.
