Multimodality vendor GE Healthcare has updated the software for its InstaTrak 3500 Plus and ENTrak Plus electromagnetic surgical navigation systems.

The updates permit users of the products to view a 3D map that enables physicians to track instrument positions with no line-of-sight restrictions, according to the Waukesha, WI-based company.

InstaTrak 3500 features an enhanced Advanced ENT with CT/MR fusion for skull-base and sinus surgeries, GE said. An AccuMatch markless registration feature has also been added to both products, eliminating the need to shave the patient's head before surgery, the firm said.
