Clinical applications include image-guided brain, kidney, liver, pancreas, or prostate surgery; guidance for transorbital therapy; minimally invasive cochlear implant surgery; assistance for deep brain stimulators placement and programming; robotic-assisted cochlear implant surgery; or ophthalmic microsurgery.<\/p>\n<p>Central to the mission of the institute is the translation of methods, techniques, and devices from the laboratory to the patient, first internally then externally through commercialization of the intellectual property center members have generated. Commercialization is achieved either via the creation of spin offs or licensing of the technology to industrial partners.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11538 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-URL\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/193\/2015\/03\/11122931\/VISE-overlapping-circles-650x580.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-URL\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/193\/2015\/03\/11122931\/VISE-overlapping-circles-650x580.png 650w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-URL\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/193\/2015\/03\/11122931\/VISE-overlapping-circles-300x268.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-URL\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/193\/2015\/03\/11122931\/VISE-overlapping-circles-768x685.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-URL\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/193\/2015\/03\/11122931\/VISE-overlapping-circles-112x100.png 112w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-URL\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/193\/2015\/03\/11122931\/VISE-overlapping-circles-1536x1370.png 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-URL\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/193\/2015\/03\/11122931\/VISE-overlapping-circles.png 1998w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/visepeople\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet VISE researchers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.me\/P98pzF-1lp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about VISE research<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Welcome to Nashville!<\/h4>\n<p><strong>See why the university&#8217;s students, faculty, staff and visitors often site Nashville as a perk of Vanderbi<\/strong>lt.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QS_8Y4dzOXs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interventional processes, devices, and systems are complex.
