(Booth 9539) Traxtal of Toronto will highlight PercuNav, the company's technology for guiding surgical instruments during interventional radiology procedures.
PercuNav tracks the tips of flexible and rigid instruments while inside the body and displays instrument position, orientation, and trajectory on preprocedure and intraprocedure images. The system can also generate and display fused multimodality images to leverage the combined resolution, contrast, and real-time feedback advantages of different imaging modalities.
PercuNav features include instrument positioning and targeting using tip tracking, 3D image manipulation and display, fusion of images from different modalities, procedure planning tools, and support for respiratory gating, motion compensation, and automatic registration.
The technology works with CT, MR, PET/CT, and ultrasound modalities and supports the fusion of dynamic ultrasound clips with CT, MR, and PET/CT. It's capable of visualizing instruments as small as 22G and can import DICOM images from modality scanners, PACS, CD, and USB memory devices.
Relevant clinical applications include biopsy, ablation, and drainage procedures targeting the liver, kidney, and lungs, with a special focus on interventional oncology. PercuNav has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance and is available worldwide.
