Define the Operating Room of the Future.

In the Operating Room of the Future, images from all sources will be integrated and available to surgeons and other personnel. Multiple image display processors integrate OR video cameras, laparoscopic and endoscopic cameras, MRI, CT, and PET imagery, PACS images, fluoroscopic imaging, ultrasound, patient monitoring data, hemodynamic activity, and patient history on a single, centralized screen for viewing by the surgical team. Information displayed includes a patient's vital statistics, allergies, and the whereabouts of operating room personnel. Eventually, the equipment will be identified and tracked as well. The display on four screens (called the wall of knowledge) shows integrated patient information in an easy-to-understand format in one location.
