Neurosurgeons at the Methodist Neurological Institute are the first in Texas to use the O-arm Imaging System, a multi-dimensional surgical navigation system for orthopedic and spine surgeries. Five centuries ago, Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and discovered the New World. This, among his other explorations, would not have been possible without the invention of navigational tools such as the sextant, compass and spyglass. A modern-day navigational tool being used by neurosurgeons at The Methodist Hospital allows doctors to successfully perform complex surgeries with an unprecedented level of accuracy and precision. Like Columbus, these physicians are blazing a new trail because they are among the first in the country to use this technology.
