TUMSPR News: Dr. Alireza Ahmadian, a TUMS faculty member at Research Center for Science and Technology in Medicine (RCSTIM) and the Intelligent Surgical Navigation System project manager looks for the development of the system for different organ systems and commercialization of the system upon its unveilment on June 9, 2011.
Dr. Alireza Ahmadian, a faculty member of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) at the Research Center for Science and Technology in Medicine (RCSTIM) and the Intelligent Surgical Navigation System project manager spoke of the intention for the development of the system for different body organ systems in different surgical fields and the need to mass-produce and commercialize the system upon its unveilment on June 9, 2011.
Dr. Ahmadian informed that the machine had successfully passed its phantom, cadaver and clinical trials in 5 different hospitals in Tehran and it had proved to be operating with a 1-1.5 mm spatial precision in comparison with American or European products.
Describing the the technical features of the system, the project manager compared the intelligent surgical navigation to a global positioning system (GPS) that helped surgeons have more accurate estimates of lesions in difficult locations. He assured that the system would bring about both confidence for the surgeon as well as more safety in operations. He emphasized that the machine would increase the quality and success rate of delicate surgical operations.
Ambitious about equipping operating rooms with the intelligent navigation system in the country, Dr. Ahmadian hoped its mass production could bring about a solid presence in the regional markets. He also expressed the will for the constant development of the system and its applications in different surgical operations.
