Cranial electromagnetic surgical navigation software is made for straightforward pinless cranial procedures.
Step-by-Step Workflow Guidance
The articulated arm of the Brainlab electromagnetic (EM) navigation system1 allows for optimal placement of the field generator near the patient’s head. A full high-definition drapable touch display provides visual guidance during the procedure. Step-by-step animated workflows guide the user through the system setup and procedure. A small patient reference can easily be taped or single-screw mounted anywhere on the skull where skin shift is unlikely.
Animated workflow guidance ensures a smooth procedure
Navigation based on DICOM or enriched DICOM data
Field Generator positions for patients in supine, lateral, prone or seated
Setup and distortion check
On-the-fly universal instrument calibration
Supports patient head with gel pad on table or radiolucent horseshoe holder
Compatible with radiolucent head clamps
Simple Registration
Cranial EM software offers a precise, workflow-guided process for registering the patient with the system. Registration is done by quickly locating three predefined landmarks and freely selecting additional surface points on the skin with the unsterile registration pointer. The system automatically matches the patient’s anatomy to the loaded patient data.
Fast surface matching
Anatomical landmark registration
Semiautomatic donut marker detection
Short-tip registration pointer
3D display of patient data for identification of registration area
Automatic 3D thresholding for optimized registration results
Visual and acoustic registration status information
