Cardiovascular 3D & VR training

Learn to see the heart differently.

We train cardiac, interventional, congenital and imaging teams to work with patient-specific anatomy in three dimensions and in immersive virtual reality — online or in your own department, on real cases, in groups small enough that everybody gets time at the controls.

The platform we teach on: Vea

                  from two viewing angles.

Small groups

Four to ten people. Nobody watches somebody else use the software.

Your own cases

Bring an anonymized dataset and we work on that, not on a demo file.

Online or on site

Half-day introductions remotely; VR programs at your institution.

From €690

Per seat, VAT included. Dates agreed with you after booking.

Training programs

Five ways in, depending on what your team needs

From a half-day introduction for one person to a two-day program that leaves a whole department working without us. Prices include VAT; several seats can be booked in one order.

Academic Program

Semester-length teaching support for universities and research groups. Recurring teaching does not fit a one-off workshop, so this one is built around your curriculum and quoted rather than listed.

Why this is worth teaching

The anatomy is three-dimensional. The training almost never is.

A modern cardiac CT holds an extraordinary amount of information about a three-dimensional structure, and almost all of it is reviewed one flat slice at a time. Experienced readers rebuild the third dimension in their heads and are very good at it — until the anatomy stops behaving. A transposition repair, a baffle, an unusual coronary course: the mental model becomes expensive to build and hard to hand to the colleague next to you.

Our programs teach the part that is actually difficult: preparing a dataset that will reconstruct properly, reading the result without losing the link to the source images, measuring it so a second reader gets the same number, and running an immersive session with a team without it becoming a production.

  • Which CT, MR and 3D echo series reconstruct well — and which waste your afternoon
  • Reading spatial relationships instead of inferring them from a stack
  • Measurement protocols that survive a second reader and a second month
  • Running a VR case review with colleagues in the room

How it runs

Four steps, and no fake calendar

Booking reserves the program, not a date somebody picked for you. We agree the date after the order, around your rota.

01

Book a place

Choose the program, add the seats you need and pay in one order. VAT included, order confirmation you can hand to finance.

02

Agree the date

We write within two working days. Online sessions usually run in three to four weeks, on-site programs four to eight.

03

Work on real cases

Your anonymized datasets where you can bring them, our prepared teaching library where you cannot.

04

Keep the workflow

Recording, teaching materials, a written measurement protocol and certificates — plus follow-up on the department program.

What you learn on

Vea, our own platform

We are not a training company that licenses somebody else's software. Vea is built here, which is why a session can go past the buttons and into why a reconstruction behaves the way it does.

It turns compatible DICOM data from CT, MR and 3D echocardiography into patient-specific anatomy you can explore, measure and — where it helps — step inside in VR. Desktop and immersive modes work on the same case.

Evidence

The platform has been examined in peer-reviewed work

Two published studies name Vea in their methods: a CT-based validation in TAVI planning reporting excellent consistency for annular measurements, and a valve-in-valve TAVI study of measurement agreement and spatial understanding. We summarize what the authors reported and link the originals rather than paraphrasing them into a claim.

Said plainly. These studies examine measurement agreement and how readers perceive spatial relationships. They do not show improved clinical outcomes, and Vea remains a research and educational tool — not a certified medical device.

Beyond training

Two other things we do

Research collaboration

Platform access for a study, measurement and reproducibility work, or a feasibility exercise before a grant application. Study design, ethics and data governance stay with your institution.

Discuss a research project

Custom medical software

The same engineering that built Vea, applied to your project: DICOM workflows, interactive 3D, VR and XR applications, prototypes that have to be convincing enough to justify the next round of funding.

What we can build

Train your team on the cases that made you look

Tell us the case your department argued about in front of a flat screen. That is usually the right starting point for choosing a program — and if a workshop is not what you need, we will say so.
