A Historical Event in Medical Imaging: CAMC successfully introduced in operating room

After extensive preclinical testing finally CAMC has been moved into the Operation Room of Innenstadtklinikum at Nußbaumstraße. First 4 Patients were treated successfully with CAMC-navigation support. The clinical investigation will cover 120 surgeries in Orthopedic Trauma Surgery. Professor Navab and many clinical partners believe that in a few years CAMC will take over the current market of existing mobile C-arms.
