This internal vantage point provides more detailed pictures of the GI tract, including the esophagus, stomach, duodenum and colon as well as surrounding tissues and organs such as the pancreas, gallbladder, liver and spleen. This technology is also used for tissue sample collection using fine needle aspiration (FNA), aspiration of lymph nodes and cysts, and administration of certain therapies, such as the celiac plexus block and neurolysis. The ability to visually guide FNA makes the Olympus EUS System an advanced, minimally invasive alternative to exploratory surgery. EUS is used in a variety of applications to help stage cancers such as esophageal, gastric, rectal and pancreatic cancers; diagnose diseases of internal organs; locate common bile duct stones; and evaluate masses in the submucosal lining of the GI tract or in enlarged stomach folds, to name a few.

8 NEUROSURGERY For appointments call (954) Ali Jourabchi Ghods, MD Focus Areas: Neurosurgery brain tumors, neuro-oncology, pituitary tumors, minimally invasive spine surgery, intra-operative neuronavigation, microvascular decompression for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, radiosurgery Residency: Rush University, Neurosurgery Residency Albert Einstein College of Medicine Advanced Technology for Intra-Operative Imaging and Navigation for Cranial and Spinal Neurosurgery Holy Cross Hospital utilizes the Medtronic O-arm Intra-operative Imaging System and the StealthStation Surgical Navigation System for surgeries in the complex and delicate areas of the spine and brain. The O-Arm allows our neurosurgeons to perform minimally invasive image-guided spinal and cranial surgery with the safest and most precise technique. The O-arm multi-dimensional surgical imaging platform provides real-time, intra-operative imaging of a patient's anatomy with high quality images and a large field-of-view in both two and three dimensions. By integrating the O-arm with the StealthStation navigation systems, surgeons are able to perform less invasive procedures and confirm the precision of advanced surgical procedures before the patient leaves the operating room. The Medtronic Cranial Stealth Navigation System produces 3D images that display, with the most precision available, the location of surgical instruments and structures in the brain. In addition, the scanner takes images rapidly and thoroughly which assists surgeons in tracking their surgical instruments when operating on patients whose illnesses may cause involuntary movements.
