Darthvader works with the hospital’s robots and technology including the hospital’s new state of the art imaging system. Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett is the first hospital in the Memphis area to acquire the O-arm® Multidimensional Imaging. The O-arm combines the technology of a CT scan with virtual navigation, and will be primarily utilized by Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett’s surgeons during spine surgeries. The system provides three-dimensional, high quality images before, during and after procedures. This can result in more precision by the surgeon, and can help reduce the risk of unnecessarily touching a patient's nerves, muscle, tissue or bone.
