Patient Registration Mask Available for Portable CT

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 23 Apr 2012
An innovative integrated surgical navigation unit offers surgeons better orientation in the operating room (OR) and enables minimally invasive surgeries with higher accuracy.

Developed jointly by NeuroLogica (Danvers, MA, USA) and Stryker Navigation (Freiburg, Germany), the integrated surgical navigation unit offers proprietary automatic intraoperative mask (AIM) technology, used for navigated ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeries. More...
It provides a noninvasive means of achieving automated patient registration and tracking during surgery. The mask can register the exact position of the patient’s face via 31 light emitting diode (LED) measuring points, in order to pass the information to the navigation system. It is intended for use in NeuroLogica’s portable BodyTom 32-slice computerized tomography (CT) scanners, in procedures that include spine, trauma, neurosurgery, and (ENT) medical procedures.

The NeuroLogica BodyTom is a completely portable, full body, 32-slice CT with an 85cm gantry and 60cm field of view (FOV). The battery-powered device can be easily transported from room to room, similar to widely used portable chest X-ray systems, and can used in a wide variety of settings, including clinics, intensive care units (ICUs), Ors, and Emergency Departments (EDs). The BodyTom is compliant with Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) 3.1, as well as all picture archiving and communication system (PACS), surgical navigation, electronic medical records (EMR), and planning systems.

“NeuroLogica is developing state-of-the-art, lifesaving medical imaging devices,” said Jim Bruty, senior marketing director of global navigation at Stryker. “Together with Stryker’s computer assisted surgery technologies, we will be able to further enhance patient outcomes and drive efficiencies for our customers.”
