The information technologies described in these notes are not yet fully available to general surgeons but will quickly develop and translate into products that will become familar to us in the next generation of our operative rooms. These, will probably be interventional suites capable of imaging fusion and navigation technology not only for the benefit of general surgeons, but for all the different professionals that already base their treatment modality on images. We do not need to invent new technology, since most of what is needed to accomplish this change, and that was described above, has already been developed or theorized. It is only necessary to decide how to use existing technology to create new devices and develop clinical applications for their use that will make our profession easier to practice and safer for our patients.

Abstract
The information technologies described in these notes are not yet fully available to general surgeons but will quickly develop and translate into products that will become familar to us in the next generation of our operative rooms. These, will probably be interventional suites capable of imaging fusion and navigation technology not only for the benefit of general surgeons, but for all the different professionals that already base their treatment modality on images. We do not need to invent new technology, since most of what is needed to accomplish this change, and that was described above, has already been developed or theorized. It is only necessary to decide how to use existing technology to create new devices and develop clinical applications for their use that will make our profession easier to practice and safer for our patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
