Surgical Navigation Specialists is displaying its Fluoro 2.0 fluoroscopic navigation system at this week's American Association of Neurological Surgeons meeting in Toronto. The new image-guidance software allows surgeons to perform surgical navigation using fluoroscopic images immediately upon acquisition in the operating room, according to the Mississauga, Ontario-based subsidiary of Cedara Software.
With Fluoro 2.0, users can manipulate images without any restrictions before and after capture with techniques such as flip, rotate, and field-of-view adjustments on the fly, according to SNN. As such, C-arm repositioning and repetitive exposures are reduced, according to the company.
The firm's Presto algorithms optimize image quality and automatically deliver calibration using an asymmetric paired-T image calibration grid. Presto's bead removal capability detects and removes image registration beads, even when superimposed on surgical instruments, according to SNN.
