Neurosurgery
We have realised that the workflow in the OR isn’t perfect yet…
Surgeons spend up to 10% of surgery time on microscope adjustments and work an average of 9 times per operation under a non-focused view. [1]
On average surgeons work on the edge of the view field 11 times per operation. [1] The edges of the field of view are not visible on the monitor, which is used by the team.
The visual axis and light source of optical microscopes are 3-6" apart. [2]
Usually, either fluorescence image or white light image can be visualized, but not both at the same time. ICG fluorescence is visualized in 2D only. [3]
