Here's a new twist to telecommuting. Brain surgeons can now assess brain conditions of a patient from their PC at home with this new re-imaging technology. Take a look at the videos here.
me? I just hope he's not multitasking or watching the sports channel while he's looking at my brain!
The press release says:
"Surgeons can also use this technology to their advantage. It will give them the ability to visualize, before the patient arrives in the operating room, potential anatomical obstacles that could complicate performing a procedure.
For instance, if a surgeon is performing a liver resection, we can simulate removing part of the patient’s liver, and with the push of a button determine how much of the remaining liver will be viable after the operation,” Butler said. “If it’s 20 percent or greater, the procedure can be performed; if less, it cannot. This will take surgical planning to a whole new level."
