Operating Rooms of the Future

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital has installed five state-of-the-art Siemens Artis zeego® medical imaging systems—more than any other hospital in the world.

This system provides faster, more accurate 3-D images of the body with a quality never before attainable, providing surgeons with more complete information to advance cardiac, vascular, neurological and colorectal care.

Based on industrial robotic technology, the imaging system can be completely controlled right at the OR table and allows virtually all anatomic regions to be easily imaged. The system provides extraordinary functionality and flexibility, enabling the C-arm to articulate at many angles and move to almost any position around the patient. As a result, the surgeon can visualize internal organs from various perspectives with access to more anatomical details, including the most minute vessels, than ever before possible. With more complete information to determine a precise diagnosis, surgical planning can be more specific and treatment more targeted. And by having this technology in the OR, our surgeons can go directly from diagnosis to surgical remedy.
