WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ActiViews, Inc., a company pioneering the development of simple, accurate, and cost-effective surgical navigation solutions, announced a partnership today with Danvers, MA-based NeuroLogica Corporation in order to develop an integrated surgical navigation system with their portable BodyTom™ 32-slice interoperative CT scanner.
The ActiViews CT-Guide™ navigation system is designed to assist physicians during CT-guided interventional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as percutaneous biopsies and ablations in the lung and liver. The system shows surgeons the real-time location of their interventional instruments and the trajectory to target on the CT images like a GPS guides a car using stored roadmaps.
“We are pleased to announce our partnership with NeuroLogica,” commented Christopher von Jako, President of ActiViews, Inc. “The combination of our patented CT-Guide™ navigation technology platform with their exclusive, portable, self-shielded CT scanner will offer surgeons a unique enabling technology for lung, liver, and any future applications in a standard operating room.”
NeuroLogica’s BodyTom™ is a completely portable, full body, 32-slice CT scanner that boasts an impressive 85cm gantry and 60cm field of view. The battery powered BodyTom™ can be easily transported from room to room providing high quality CT images in an intraoperative setting. BodyTom™ is DICOM 3.1 compliant and compatible with all PACS systems.
“We are excited to be partnered with ActiViews and their game changing navigation technology,” commented David Webster, Global Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We believe that BodyTom™ will accelerate the adoption of lung and liver procedures in a standard operating room.”
