Neurosurgical procedures are performed using operating microscopes. The technology of most microscopes has not changed much over the past 60 years. The National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences and International Institute of Information Technology based at Bengaluru have embarked on joint collaboration for developing robot for neurosurgical applications. As a working prototype, robotic microscope Mythri 1.0 has been developed. An overview of the development process, working, and features of the device is presented in the article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
