In the past decade, Computer Assisted
Surgical (CAS) Technologies have been routinely applied as surgical tools for difficult
and complicated cases in neurosurgery, cranio-facial surgery, and orthopedic surgery. The
two key successful features of these methods are preoperative planning and intraoperative
navigation using accurate medical imaging data that is becoming increasingly
sophisticated. Technical improvements of CAS devices are being developed at academic and
commercial research departments around the world, and the range of commercial applications
of CAS technologies to new areas of surgery is constantly being expanded.This report
offers the reader a clear grasp of how technological advances allow the development of
commercially feasible CAS-based devices for use in many areas of surgery. AdvanceTech
Monitor analysts provide the insight and expertise required to assemble and filter the
vast body of information from these technologies into a well organized, comprehensive
document along with critical analysis.
