Speedy 3-D X-rays in the operating room

ScienceDaily (Oct. 27, 2011) — Having an operation always places strain on patients, and this is especially true of complicated operations. Surgeons use 3D X-rays to check the results before the patient has left the operating room. This does help to avoid possible complications, but it also means interrupting the surgery. Fraunhofer researchers are now developing a 3D X-ray system that can be integrated seamlessly into operating procedure -- with no more forced interruptions. To find out how this...
