Introduction
The Center for Image-Guided Therapy and Interventions is one of the ten centers of the Institute of Medical Robotics (IMR), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), and was established on January 1, 2019. The center focuses on the development and transformation of minimally invasive precision medical technology for major diseases such as tumor, cardiovascular and stroke. There are three PIs in the center, including a "Cross-century Outstanding Talent of the Ministry of Education" and "Shanghai Shuguang Scholar". Its projects include the construction of a public platform for the medical imaging in SJTU and a public computing platform for deep learning in IMR. The center currently purchases equipment worth 25 million yuan, including a 1.5T magnetic resonance scanner, a digital blood vessel silhouette machine, a three-dimensional Doppler ultrasound scanner and a DGX-2 deep learning computing platform.
