27 Computer Vision News Lei Li Does it have benefits for the patient, too? Yes. What are those benefits? For the atrial fibrillation patient, for example, they usually need to do a repeated operation procedure. It means they need to go to the hospital many times to get a fully successful operation. What I can do is predict the area of the scar, which can guide the doctor to find the optimal operation target, which can reduce the times the patient needs to go to the hospital. This sounds like a big project to improve healthcare. Yeah. [Lei laughs] Do you feel a lot of responsibility? Yes. Previously, I mainly focused on the image data. It’s not enough because we know the heart is beating and we also need to consider the electrophysiological property of the heart. Currently, what I’m doing now is to create a virtual heart, which is not only anatomy but also some electrophysiological information to mimic the heartbeat of a real patient. It’s also patient-specific. With this, we can do a virtual surgery on the virtual heart to find the optimal operation target for the patient. It’s very promising for the future.
