Dr. Nick West, Chief Medical Officer and DVP, Global Medical Affairs, Vascular Division, Abbott reveals the advances over traditional angiograms that Abbott is bringing to the market that change the ability to see inside blood vessels.  Using the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to examine coronary arteries, cardiologists are able to see high resolution intracoronary images to help make better decisions about necessary procedures. Creating a virtual environment using the technology from the Oculus-go googles, Abbott is conducting virtual-reality training allowing VR-training to be incorporated on demand into the busy schedules of clinicians.
