Clear sight for surgeons - Interventional imaging & surgery

Image: image from an endoscopic camera

Whether MRI, CT or endoscopy - imaging procedures are indispensable in medicine because they provide important insights on the basis of which surgeons get to work. There are no limits to technology: Augmented and virtual reality are increasingly being used in hospitals to plan operations or during their execution. Find out what technical solutions are available in modern imaging in our trend topic and at MEDICA 2021.

eZSimulator

The eZSimulator is a unique laptop-based training tool for ultrasound-guided procedures. It consists of a virtual transducer and eZonos software with eZGuide® technology, which is able to project needle navigation in real time onto the selected image. Train transducer and needle coordination in real-world application scenarios, without the need for special phantoms. Using the eZSimulator, you will learn and perfect the out-of-plane needle technique with a large image database and many tutorials.

Leonardo DR mini II

The highly functional Oehm and Rehbein X-ray case - the latest development of the Leonardo series - combines X-ray detector technology with powerful diagnostic and acquisition software. With its approx. 8.9 kilogramm, it is one of the lightest X-ray systems in the world. The X-ray case is used both for in-patient and out-patient care in the homecare sector or for health care in the context of missions of various aid organisations and NGOs. The handy case with the shock-absorbing, dirt-repellent plastic coating is also very easy to transport with the supplied carrying strap.

Bringing stents precisely to their destination with cardiac catheter robots

Robots in the operating theatre are no longer a rarity in certain medical fields - they support and relieve doctors and sometimes they can make operations more efficient and easier with artificial intelligence (AI). However, they are rarely found in the operating theatre during cardiological interventions.

Surgical planning with immersive mixed reality

The job of surgeons starts long before they step into the operating room. They must use two-dimensional MRI or CT scans to plan the surgical steps on a three-dimensional patient, relying on their experience, skill, and spatial sense. Using mixed reality (MR) to view human anatomical models allows for better visualization and navigation.
