Advanced Technologies in Safe and Efficient Operating Rooms

Abstract

Work on this award continues to focus on three primary areas: Operating Room Informatics, Simulation, and Smart Image. In the area of Informatics, a meta-analysis of commercially available positioning technologies has been completed. A sampling of these technologies was installed in a lab environment and extensive testing was completed. The Simulation effort continues to build The Virtual Human, having developed a working model of normal esophageal function. The Smart Image research has demonstrated the ability to fuse multi-source images, creating a real-time 3-dimensional view for the laparoscopic surgeon. Work continues on refining these images.
