Why it matters

Endovascular surgery can reach organs through a needle puncture, but navigation still depends on X-ray images and tacit operator feel built over years. Mosaic's bet is that sensing instruments and real-time 3D reconstruction can record that expertise, make procedures easier to learn and eventually support robotic control.
