The aim of the project was to develop a Polish complementary system of molecular surgical navigation for the treatment of ...
The challenge An industry-leading medical device company required the capability to automatically generate an accurate 3D model of complex patient-specific anatomies The anatomical model was needed for planning challenging surgical navigation procedures The pre-existing solution was slow and not robust, requiring extensive and time-consuming manual editing by the interventionist Our ...
Optics and medical devices have a long history and partnership. Since the invention of the microscope in the late 1500s to mid-1600s, the interest and desire to “see” into the human body to diagnose illness and subsequently repair it has only intensified. Optics in modern medical devices fall into two categories: those used for diagnosis of illness, and those which are therapeutic or ...
The Intellijoint team has continued to innovate and expand the system’s feature set since and well over 1,500 surgeries have been completed with the Intellijoint KNEE navigation system. ...
Our Value-Based Robotics series advances towards the actual clinical use of robotics and issues concerning practicality and surgeon onboarding and training. It is generally accepted that robotic surgical systems enable minimally invasive surgery and improve outcomes, including shorter recovery times, less scarring, and reduced healthcare costs. This being said, the jury is still out on whether ...
Computer-aided surgery is used in a daily clinical workflow for safer surgical interventions. ...
To confidently perform a spinal fusion and screw fixation with excellence surgical navigation is consistently used as a powerful tool. Surgical Navigation provides real-time guidance and precise measurements for accurately placing the pedicle screws to help stabilize the spine. A preoperative CT scan gives a detailed visualization of the structure decreasing the potential for implant-related ...
The long-term success of dental implant surgery is dependent, in part, on accurate planning and placement of the implant.1 Currently, there are many digital planning systems available to aid the clinician in pre-operative treatment planning, although the main challenge with these planning systems is to accurately transfer the digital plan to the clinical situation. ...
The following case was performed at the Pacific Dental Convention’s Live Surgical Stage held March 8th, 2018 in Vancouver, BC. The patient is a healthy 58 year old male with no known allergies or medical contra-indications to dental treatment. Patient presented with a Class III malocclusion for which he received both orthodontic and oral surgery consultations; however, he was not ...
INTRODUCTION The replacement of a single central incisor may be one of the most demanding implant treatments clinicians face. Still, clinicians have been able to achieve aesthetic results in these challenging cases through excellent treatment planning and meticulous surgical placement. The following case study highlights how Dr. Zokol was able to integrate Inliant® into his treatment plan ...
Advancements in technology such as CT Scans, Soft Tissue Scans, and Dynamic Surgical Navigation allow the surgeon to better serve the implant needs of his/her patients. ...
MOTION study will quantify new technology’s impact on radiation exposure In December, Cleveland Clinic vascular surgeons successfully completed the first surgical case in the MOTION clinical trial of a new non-radiation-based surgical navigation platform for endovascular aortic interventions. The trial is a feasibility study of the Intra-Operative Positioning System (IOPS™) from ...
A surgical C-arm and an Optical Navigation system works together in synergy to facilitate a Spinal surgery platform. ...
Presently, they rely on pre-operative surgical navigation technologies, such as MRI, in order to determine the contours of the cancerous tissue to be safely removed. These surgical navigation systems, in conjunction with surgical microscopes, can generally identify the tumor bulk, but fail to identify the extent of cancer cell invasion in tissues at the margin. ...
