Advanced Technologies in Safe and Efficient Operating Rooms

Abstract

During the past decade, we witnessed an extraordinary evolution in surgical care based upon rapid advances in technology and creative approaches to medicine. The increased speed and power of computer applications, the rise of visualization technologies related to imaging and image guidance, improvement in simulation-based technologies (tissue properties, tool-tissue interaction, graphics, haptics, etc) has caused an explosion in surgical advances. That said, we remain far behind scientists in applying information systems to patient care. This research effort has proceeded under the mantle of Operating Room of the Future research. We replaced that theme with the more appropriate Innovations in the Surgical Environment.
