VesselNavigator

3D image fusion technology for endovascular procedures
Image-guided therapy
VesselNavigator allows reuse of 3D vascular anatomical information from existing CTA and MRA datasets as a 3D roadmap overlay on a live X-ray image. With its excellent visualization, VesselNavigator provides an intuitive and continuous 3D roadmap to guide you through vasculature during the entire procedure.

All Philips professional healthcare customers can open, track and manage equipment service tickets in our Customer Services Portal at no cost. Register for an account here.

Features
3D image fusion in endovascular procedures
Studies¹,² have shown the advantages of a 3D perspective for catheter and device guidance. With VesselNavigator, clinicians can easily segment 3D vessel structures from existing CT/MR datasets and fuse them with live X-ray for guidance.
3D image fusion
Potential to reduce procedure time
Philips CTA Image Fusion Guidance may lead to shorter procedure times. A study of 62 patients² showed an average reduction in procedure time from 6.3 to 5.2 hours during FEVAR/BEVAR procedures using Philips CTA image fusion guidance.
Potential to reduce procedure time
Moves in sync to new positions
During the procedure, VesselNavigator provides a real-time overlay that moves in sync with any projection, table and system position. This can reduce the need to make additional contrast enhanced runs to create new roadmaps.

  • Azurion 7 M20 Image Guided Therapy System Monoplane Ceiling/Floor Mounted
    Azurion 7 M20
    Experience outstanding interventional cardiac and vascular performance on the Azurion 7 Series with 20'' flat detector. This industry leading image-guided therapy solution supports you in delivering outstanding patient care and increasing your operational efficiency by uniting clinical excellence with workflow innovation. Seamlessly control all relevant applications from a single touch screen at table side, to help make fast, informed decisions in the sterile field.
  • SmartCT Angio Imaging technology
    SmartCT Angio
    This X-ray acquisition technique generates a complete high-resolution 3D visualization of cerebral, cardiac, abdominal or peripheral vasculature from a single rotational angiography run – all controlled via the touch screen at the table. This can improve visibility of tortuous or complex anatomy.
  • SmartCT Roadmap Live 3D image guidance tool
    SmartCT Roadmap
    SmartCT Roadmap facilitates complex interventions by providing live 3D image guidance that can be segmented, using SmartCT Angio or SmartCT Soft Tissue, to emphasize target vessel and lesions, aiding guidewire and catheter navigation through complex vessel structures. All controlled via the touch screen at the table.
  • SmartCT Soft Tissue Imaging technology
    SmartCT Soft Tissue
    SmartCT Soft Tissue offers a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) acquisition technique augmented with step-by-step guidance, advanced 3D visualization and measurement tools all accessible on the touch screen module at table side. To support you in acquiring CBCT images first-time right [1] and to streamline your workflow, you are guided through key steps. Once the CBCT scan is successfully performed, the acquired 3D image is automatically displayed in the SmartCT 3D visualization tool with the appropriate rendering settings and the 3D measurement tools tailored for the selected 3D protocol.
  • XperGuide Live 3D needle guidance
    XperGuide
    XperGuide offers live 3D image needle guidance, letting you bring percutaneous needle procedures into the interventional lab. It overlays live fluoroscopy and 3D soft tissue imaging data from previously-acquired CT or MR scans or Philips XperCT, providing information on the needle path and target.
