iCT: Another Vital Addition to OR

iCT in Operation Room 

 Just like iMRI, iCT is also imperative and is a very useful tool in driving better success in operation rooms, this kind of operation room is going to be the future of conventional operating rooms, surgeons are now able to see the outcome of their surgery during surgery time thus increasing chances of success and reducing any further implications.

Also, even with its high price, many hospitals from around the world are opting to have such technology on their hands to increase their medical care services to a much needed sector in medical field, which is the operation room, this gives these hospitals an advantage over others for curing brain, spine and trauma surgeries.

How iCT works?

Simply, think of a moving CT scanner inside the OR and imagine how high resolution fast images will help a surgeon pin point tumors and remove it to almost non existence. See the figure below to get better idea.

Dual iCT Operation Room

Making the iCT ust like iMRI is capable of serving dual operating rooms will also make these rooms more efficient and bring an edge to medical operation enhancement. Of course we have gone a long way from just using a scalpel and wishing for the best. Now, with this technology a surgeon knows what is going on and exactly where the tumor is. If this were also aided with future laser technologies the outcomes can be staggering in favor of patient safety and care. However this will mean the need for more equipment in the already crowded operation rooms. The high cost and need for specific architecture in an OR of such integrated systems will be hindering the spread of such systems in most hospitals.

One the most famous hospitals that are known for having iCT scanners in their non conventional very specialized operation rooms is Fortis Memorial Research Institute – Gurgaon, India which is  2^nd in Top most Technologically Advanced Hospitals in the World.
