ACTIVE IMAGING IS REAL-TIME VISUAL GUIDANCE FOR DECISION SUPPORT The only real-time intraoperative imaging modality Scan instantaneously and repeatedly wth iUS, while iCT and iMRI scans interrupt the surgical workflow1 and require a set scan time. Minimum radiation hazards to the patient Unlike iCT, intraoperative ultrasound does not involve ionizing radiation.2 Comparable gross tumor resection rates to iMRI In a recent article, iUS has demonstrated gross total resection (GTR) for High Grade Gliomas (HGG) that is not statistically different from iMRI and 5-ALA.3 (1) Coburger J, Nabavi A, König R, Rainer Wirtz C, Pala A.

DISCOVER THE NEW REAL-TIME VISUALIZATION HAS NEVER LOOKED THIS GOOD Video Player 00:00 00:00 Surgical Visualization and Guidance Systems Enhanced Visualization: Improved algorithms for greater details around lesion borders, and automated high-resolution image settings. Monitor Progress: Compare live images with previous scans simultaneously using Dual Live Compare, Picture in Picture, or Stored Image Compare. Neurosurgeon Control: Remote control and Smart Button™ on sterilizable transducers allow neurosurgeon control of the image in the sterile field. Simple and Customizable UI: Intuitively simple, Tru-Sense™ touch screen with customized user profiles for Basic to Advanced usage. Adjustable Monitor: View images in portrait or landscape orientation, with monitor on an extendable, flexible arm for small spaces. On-Demand Videos: Instructional videos on the system to quickly refresh on image orientation and needle guide assembly. View System Neurosurgeon Controlled: Sterilizable remote control for convenient operation of the system in the sterile field. Small Footprint: Scanner design integrates seamlessly into the OR. Simple & Easy to Use: Intuitive keyboard design.

The Minimally Invasive Transducer N20P6 is compatible with NICO BrainPath® (diameters 11-13.5 mm; lengths 50-95 mm), Vycor ViewSite™ Brain Access System (widths: 12-28 mm; heights: 8-20mm; lengths: 3-7cm), and Neuroendoport® (diameters greater than 13 mm; lengths: 5.5-8.5 cm). Use of the Hockey Stick Transducer X18L5s for intraoperative (neuro) has not been CE-marked. bkActiv is not available in all countries. Ask your local representative about your options. Burr-Hole Transducer (N11C5s) has been cleared for adults and children (>2 – 12 years) DIGITAL INTEGRATION WITH BRAINLAB Surgical Visualization and Guidance’s active imaging solutions combined with Brainlab Navigation can be a powerful tool to provide critical information that helps neurosurgeons navigate procedures. Brainlab Ultrasound Navigation Software provides updated images for navigation and enables real-time overlay of ultrasound imaging on preoperative MRI/CT, providing immediate information about brain shift. The digital transmission ensures no loss of ultrasound image quality.
