Just had a great idea (although on past experience I've probably been beaten to it). We now have 3D images available from MRI and CT scans. Has anyone thought of using these via CNC technology to control robotic surgery?

Been done.

Gert went into hospital last week and had her Barclaycard surgically removed with a 5 axis CNC.

I never felt a thing.

Have a google for Cyber Knife. One has been installed at Mount Vernon Hospital, was a gift from a grateful patient ( £10,000,000). Destroys tumors that are inoperable. Hope for those who had none.

The CNC bit allows the beam to be rotated around and converge on the target without the operators being anywhere near. It is a step up from the linear accelerator technology that has been used for mostly one axis rotation.

Billy.
