Image Guided Surgery

Image guided surgery (IGS) uses technologies like GPS and LEDs along with imaging to guide smaller incisions and more precise surgeries, improving outcomes. IGS was developed in the late 20th century building on x-ray technology. It allows neurosurgeons and other specialists to see internal images during a procedure, leading to shorter operations, less invasive techniques, and better access to complex surgeries.
