Our free, week-long festival (Monday 4 July - Sunday 10 July) features 22 curated exhibits and a series of inspiring talks and activities for all ages. https://royalsociety.org/events/summer-science-exhibition/ Robots and 3D imaging are making complex cancer surgery safer. Before complex operations, surgeons prepare by conjuring a mental 3D picture of the patient’s internal organs, based on flat images from CT and MRI scans. Our exhibit showcases how we’re pushing the boundaries of surgery by getting rid of the guesswork; creating 3D models from these images, and combining them with the dexterity of surgical robots.
