Executive Summary
A US team at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, plans to begin clinical studies using tools based on Microvision's retinal scanning display technology to improve surgical visualisation in minimally invasive cardiac and abdominal procedures. The trials, which are expected to start in the second half of 2000, will involve the development of an advanced head-mounted display system that will provide surgeons with an "inside the body view".
