the pathways that illustrate exactly where instruments should go.
Another advantage: The system can record with the navigation sys-
tem built in, so the augmented reality you see on the screen in real
time can be viewed again later.
4. Total integration
The ability to access, route, record and store video within a user-
friendly and virtually seamless architecture is one of the hallmarks
of the Santagati Center, which opened this past spring in Lawrence,
Mass.
The $56 million multi-specialty center has 6 standard ORs, each of
which has a 50-inch wall-mounted monitor at the foot of the bed, 2 large
monitors mounted on booms and 3 other strategically placed monitors.
"Everything is easily controlled by touchscreen monitors," says David
Spofford, RN, the hospital's senior director of surgical services and out-
patient procedures, "so with the touch of a finger, the circulating nurse
can do whatever it takes to route multiple images in a way that may
assist the surgeon while he's performing surgery."
