IMRS is the one to watch for neuro robotics. Their SYMBIS system (previously called Neuroarm) is the most advanced system for neuro & micro surgery on the market - or will be later this year. SYMBIS system can be used in conjunction with the VISIUS (interoperative MRI) operating suite (iMRI) to guide surgeons in real time on large HD screens just in front of them. This is the first time in history surgeons have the ability to monitor their progress in real time to help facilitate complete removal of tumors on the first attempt - minimizing follow up precedures significantly. This is HUGE cost savings to hospitals but most importantly significantly reduces risks to patients through repeated procedures. This is great news on multiple fronts. iMRIS will be fully moved into its new headquarters in Minneapolis by October 2013.

Great comment, Bruce! Couldn't have said it any better. 510k FDA application submitted in August 2012. Any idea how much longer before we get a decision?
