Criterion B
The IT system that is used is highly sophisticated and is extremely delicate. In order to operate such a surgery using the BRAINSUITE there has to be a number of people who are all working in the operating room; it will consist of 2-3 surgeons, one anesthesiologist, and a number of nurses. Since this technology extremely innovative there will usually be a dozen people in the operating room. The doctor (who will be the person responsible for the operation) will be located at the computer console and doesn’t have any physical contact with the patient; he will be operating on him directly with the robot through the computer. This will enable the doctor to use the magnification component of the BRAINSUIT and view very clearly at pinpoint areas (where the human eye cannot view). The other component is they could do extremely precise incisions with the very steady and accurate Robot Arm, which is much more efficient than the human arm.

The Brain Surgeon's New Toolbox
Criterion A
Brain surgery has gone to the next step when using cutting edge technology. The M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas in Huston has reached optimum level when handling extremely delicate situations like brain surgery (Rosenwald, 2007). The extremely sophisticated neurosurgical setup consists of a ceiling-mounted Camera which has extremely high resolution and focus so that the brain surgeon can magnify and focus the brain, it has a large billboard to display the information at a extremely quick pace which could be viewed by all of the surgeons, and an extra-wide MRI scanner can accommodate bodies which are laid at a side and can’t be rolled at the back. The final result was named the BRAINSUITE and it costs 9.2-million dollars with all the equipment needed to operate it (Rosenwald, 2007). The cost is quite high and most probably won’t be found globally very soon but it is said to be built in other seven US hospitals.
