The Center for Surgical Innovation: At the Intersection of Science, Health Care, and Technology

The Center for Surgical Innovation (CSI) at Dartmouth is an operating suite prioritized for translational research and equipped with MRI and CT machines that can move in and out of its operating rooms. For surgeries in which a few millimeters means the difference between restoring a physical ability and causing permanent disability, or between curing cancer and missing a bit of tumor that may grow back, 3-D imaging during surgery is priceless to individual patients. And when used in a surgical research setting, 3-D imaging enables surgeons and engineers to improve both common and complex surgeries for entire patient populations.

The CSI will allow surgeons and engineers to innovate like never before, rapidly developing, testing, and validating new surgical tools and techniques, with the goal of achieving better, safer, and, in some cases, less-costly care for patients everywhere.

The CSI is a joint collaboration between Dartmouth-Hitchcock, the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, and the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth, with capital funding from the National Institutes of Health.
