Image guidance system.Cbyon [R], Inc., has introduced the Cbyon Suit[TM], an advanced image guidance system that is optimized for use in sinus and spinal surgeries, as well as neurosurgery neurosurgery /neu·ro·sur·gery/ (noor´o-sur?jer-e) surgery of the nervous system. neu·ro·sur·ger·y n. Surgery on any part of the nervous system. . The Chyon Suite is based on a proprietary software platform called Perspective Volume Rendering [TM], developed by biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. engineers and surgeons from the Image Guidance Laboratory in Stanford University's Department of Neurosurgery. This platform employs powerful mathematical algorithms and computer processors to render a 3-D representation of targeted patient anatomy, using diagnostic imaging data acquired preoperatively from computed tomography Computed tomography (CT scan) X rays are aimed at slices of the body (by rotating equipment) and results are assembled with a computer to give a three-dimensional picture of a structure. (CT), magnetic resonance imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures. (MRI 1. (application) MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 2. MRI - Measurement Requirements and Interface. ) or positron-emission tomography (PET) scans. The Cbyon Suite then integrates the 3-D representation with a variety of virtual and actual surgical tools, enabling physicians to create a working model of a patient's anatomy. The model can be viewed from any perspective, even from inside the anatomy. A supplemental software module even permits Virtual Endoscopy [TM]. |
