Use radiation to produce images

Viewing of the internal structure

Two-dimensional images

Precisely reconstruct the internal structure

Uses powerful magnetic fields 

Maps the patient's internal structure

Produces detailed images of soft tissuie in the body

Does not use radiation

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Use vital statistics monitoring software

Recordes blood pressure, pules and oxygen levels

Notify the staff out of acceptable ranges

Patient Monitoring

Computerized robotics

Perfoeme surgery without being in the room

Video networking

Observed by students

Surgery
