With automatic patient registration to the newly acquired CT images, Curve correlates patient-specific anatomy with the spatial position of the physician’s surgical instruments.“ The new equipment gives him an edge in helping patients with safe and precise brain and spine surgical procedures.Īiro connects to the facility’s Curve™ Image-Guided Surgery system, a GPS-like navigation system for the human body. Bell, a Nebraska native who attended Hastings College, has several years experience in the neurosurgery field. The equipment features a large opening but a small system footprint, so it fits through standard doors and allows for flexibility of patient positioning.ĭr.
It is designed for use in the operating room, giving surgeons up-to-date anatomical information during surgery, allowing for timely and informed decision-making. Bell have partnered to offer the Airo® Mobile Intraoperative CT, developed by Mobius Imaging and distributed by Brainlab. Neurosurgeon Scott Bell, MD, PhD, MPH, came to MLH in August 2017, opening Inspired Brain & Spine Surgery.
