Brigham and Women’s Hospital Opens Innovative Operating Room
The surgical suite is the first of its kind in the world and will facilitate improvements in surgical and interventional care.

AMIGO is the first operating room in the world to combine all forms of advanced imaging modalities in one suite including MRI, PET/CT, ultrasound, x-ray fluoroscopy and angiography.
