Fusion and Navigation

Featuring our most powerful architecture that touches all aspects of acoustic acquisition and processing, allowing ultrasound to evolve to a more definitive modality: Auto Registration allows Fusion and Navigation to provide successful alignment of CT or MR volumes to ultrasound in under one minute for the effective characterization of lesions. Registration of two imaging modalities by conventional methods can be time-consuming and technically challenging, often taking up to 10 minutes to achieve successful fusion. Automated fusion in less than one minute allows for more time to focus on the procedure ahead and less time ensuring accurate fusion registration.

Tumor contour is a semi-automated tool that helps outline a 3D contour around a structure of interest. The clinician can easily plan and target a lesion during an interventional procedure, and help improve procedure guidance even in challenging cases where the lesion may not be visually obvious under ultrasound. The lesion can be rendered in 3D or 2D via a complementary modality and overlaid on the live ultrasound or CT, helping visualize the location in relation to surrounding critical structures.

With a reusable adaptive needle tracker and expanded range of coaxial needle-tip tracked instruments, fusion and navigation offers you a wide range of compatibility with biopsy and ablation devices depending on the degree of procedure complexity. Needle navigation is a performance-enhancing tool for challenging interventional cases such as a hard-to-visualize small-lesion biopsy or difficult-to-access ablations that are close to critical structures. Complete procedures in less time and with fewer confirmatory scans.
