National Center for Image-Guided Therapy
Advanced Multimodality Image Guided Operating (AMIGO) Suite
The Advanced Multimodality Image Guided Operating (AMIGO) Suite is an innovative surgical and interventional environment that is the clinical translational test bed of the National Center for Image-Guided Therapy (NCIGT) at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and Harvard Medical School. The AMIGO is an integrated, 5,700 square foot area divided into three sterile procedure rooms in which a multidisciplinary team will treat patients with the benefit of intra-operative imaging using multiple modalities.

SlicerIGT Hands-on Demo
Approximately 1000 visitors had a chance to try image-guided, navigated surgery on the modified Operation Game at the Science Rendezvous in Kingston, Ontario, Canada on May 11, 2013. This event was presented by The Perk Lab and they used PlusServer to connect to the tracker, and 3D Slicer with the SlicerIGT extension for visualization.
