Digitally controlled neurosurgical operating table--technical note.
The authors describe a new, digitally controlled operating table for neurosurgery. The apparatus includes a digitally controlled motor for manipulating the table and a rotary encoder with a central processing unit, which calculates and displays the table's position. The table can be operated with any type of digitalized computer system and its position is monitored by the encoder unit in real time.
