Nice ARTICLE....

The medical community finds this to have widespread application....

The article states the amount of testing this unit camera feedback and surgical arms have undergone already....

Titan has an arsenal of PR's to come out with that will spark numerious articles and coverage...

IREP has gone through several development stages. Zeldovich writes, “First, Columbia University computer scientist Peter Allen devised an insertable camera that tilted, panned, and followed the movements of surgical instruments from inside the abdomen, and projected its vision onto a computer screen.

“To test it, surgeon Dennis Fowler performed a number of appendectomies, nephroscopies, and other operations on porcine models

IREP was tested using the standard laparoscopic surgery exam setting, which all surgeons must pass to be board-certified. It passed the test, but has not yet been used on humans.

One of the cores of my research is developing algorithms that will enable intelligent surgical robots to help surgeons adapt surgical plans based on in-vivo information gathered during surgery,”
