NVIDIA Clara AGX
NVIDIA Clara AGX Development Kit
The NVIDIA Clara AGX Development Kit delivers real-time AI and imaging for medical devices. By combining low-powered, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier and RTX GPU with the NVIDIA Clara AGX SDK and the NVIDIA EGX stack, it’s easy to securely provision and remotely manage fleets of distributed medical instruments.
NVIDIA Clara AGX Software
NVIDIA Clara AGX SDK runs on the NVIDIA Clara AGX and Jetson platform and provides developers with capabilities to build end-to-end streaming workflows for medical imaging. It includes advanced samples for ultrasound video and endoscopy. Access to the NVIDIA Clara AGX SDK requires an NVIDIA Developer Account.
