VIST Virtual Patient

VIST® Virtual Patient, developed by Mentice, is a simulation software solution that transforms an existing angiography suite into a dynamic team training and skills acquisition platform for image-guided interventions. Designed for interventional healthcare professionals working across neurovascular, cardiovascular, and peripheral vascular specialties, it enables safe, immersive, and radiation-free procedural rehearsal using real-life patient images — without risk to patients, staff, or equipment.

By seamlessly integrating Mentice simulators with world-leading angiography systems from manufacturers such as Philips and Siemens Healthineers, VIST® Virtual Patient allows clinical teams to practice everyday and abnormal interventional procedures during idle time or following canceled procedures. The solution has been proven in angio suites around the world to improve both individual and team training outcomes.

Key Features and Benefits

• Fully integrated with your C-arm, enabling simulation of real-life interventional procedures within your actual angio suite environment
