C-arm developer Ziehm Imaging of Riverside, CA, and image-guided therapy firm BrainLab of Munich, Germany, have extended to North America their alliance covering the joint development and marketing of C-arms and computer-aided surgical (CAS) software.
The companies have been working together since 2002 to ensure compatibility between Ziehm's C-arms and BrainLab's CAS software. The firms believe that the combination offers surgeons better orientation in the operating room and enables minimally invasive surgeries with less radiation and higher accuracy.
Ziehm's Vision2 Vario 3D C-arm allows surgeons to obtain volumetric 3D datasets and display sagittal, coronal, and axial views intraoperatively, while BrainLab's software automatically registers intraoperative 3D images without a surgeon's interaction.
