1. The hospital is the first in the Mid-Atlantic area to invest in the technology.
2. The BrightMatter system offers strategic planning, surgical navigation and intraoperative tissue visualization via optics and robotic manipulation.
3. The system generates a detailed three-dimensional representation of a patient's fiber tracts in just a few minutes.
4. Synaptive Medical and the Inova Neuroscience Institute are also collaborating on a research project to optimize their existing systems.
