3 AMIGO: Image guided therapy suite 3

4 Advanced Multimodality Image Guided Operating Suite AMIGO is an innovative surgical and interventional environment where real-time anatomical imaging modalities like x-ray and ultrasound are combined with cross sectional digital imaging systems like CT, MRI, and PET. AMIGO technology improves the ability to define tumor margins to more completely excise or thermally ablate affected areas. AMIGO is a multimodality, multidisciplinary, and multivendor translational environment. PET/CT Room Integration of anatomical info from CT and MRI with functional and metabolic info from PET informs surgical decision making during tumor resections and percutaneous thermal ablations. Operating Room The OR is outfitted with an electronically controlled patient table surrounded by imaging and therapy devices (ceiling-integrated navigation system, fluoroscopy, 3D ultrasound, and a microscope with near-infrared imaging system). MRI Room Room contains a 3T MRI fully integrated with video monitors, surgical lights, therapy delivery equipment, an MRI-compatible anesthesia machine, and vital signs monitor. A ceiling mounted MRI scanner can be rotated or moved into and out of the OR and MR rooms. 4

6 AMIGO location planning

7 AMIGO s strengths See the results of surgery remove the all tumor, leave healthy tissue untouched Track surgical instruments, merge with pre-operative scans Guide biopsy, brachytherapy, ablation treatment Add any combination of image modalities to surgery Explore new medical ideas and procedures in a framework emphasizing patient safety 7
