Operation Room Technologies in an operation room Perfint Healthcare created Maxio, a robotic guidance system that helps doctors make diagnoses of cancer, location of pain and even surgeries. You can do things in their place, where you can find a tumor with a precision that even a human doctor can. The robots have been distributed in about 1500 hospitals around the world so far. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis created high-tech glasses that surgeons can use during surgery to detect cancer cells. With the use of a specially mounted video screen, the glasses can see how the cancer cells are ignited after a molecular agent is injected into the patient. Precision Brain Biopsy Needles One of the most delicate biopsy procedures has always been the brain biopsy. Without extreme caution, a biopsy of brain tissue can cause disastrous complications.
