Is Stereotaxis the Next Intuitive Surgical?

Speaking of expensive operating room equipment..........
IMRIS (IM on the TSX) is a small Canadian company that has developed the world's most advanced MRI system. It is a "mobile" system that involves huge expense in setting up an operating room so revenues are very lumpy. This system allows the patient to remain in the operating room and the MRI system is moved to the patient during the operation rather than taking the patient out of the room to the usual MRI station. Then the MRI is moved back out of the way and the operation continues. They're getting sales around the world - don't know how successful they'll be as not much history but could be interesting. Just some more expensive equipment for hospitals to buy!!
