CHOP Models Children’s Hearts with Open-Source NVIDIA AI Tools

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) uses NVIDIA's open-source MONAI framework to build anatomically accurate 3D heart models from CT, MRI, and ultrasound. The model is created in seconds instead of about four hours of manual work, and modeling programs already operate in more than 20 U.S. children's hospitals.

• Heart model built in seconds instead of ~4 hours of specialist work
• Modeling programs operate in more than 20 U.S. children's hospitals
• At Boston Children's, modeling supports over 500 surgeries per year
• CHOP plans about 200 modeled cases in 2026
