Phil Green 2003
Phil Green's contributions to the fields of ultrasonic imaging and minimally invasive "robotic" surgery have had tremendous impact on the practice of medicine.
Over a 25-year period, Green led more than 30 inventions that made ultrasound a usable medical diagnostic tool; it is now a primary method of imaging the human body. In the early 1980s, Green had an insight that would prove to revolutionize minimally invasive surgery: a robotic system, controlled remotely by the surgeon, that gives the full sensory experience of conventional hands-on "open" surgery.
Intuitive Surgical, an SRI spin-off company, developed and is commercializing the da Vinci™ Surgical System. Today, the company is the recognized leader in operative surgical robotics.
