Surgical navigation system

The Pari-Path surgical navigation system is a stereotactic accessory for Computed Tomography (CT) and Ultrasound imaging systems.

It displays the simulated image of an interventional instrument (a tracked insertion tool), such as a biopsy needle, an ablation needle, or probe, on a computer monitor that shows an image model of the target organs along with the current and projected path of the interventional instrument.

It is intended for treatment planning and intra-operative guidance for surgical procedures.

This FDA cleared imaging system is intended for visualizing anatomical structures during clinical interventions.

Specials:

Good accuracy for navigation direction. It is about 0.5~1 degree in a wide region when using in good condition;

Sensor reusable. Expensive sensors are re-used for every procedur. Other disposal parts are affordable;

Applicable for different needle instruments. Sensors can be easily mounted on different needle-liked instruments;

Easy registering just on mouse click. There are no skin markers to handle;

Easy CT and Ultrasound fusion. CT and Ultrasound are overlapped easily for better observation. No need for surgeons to select common spots on CT images and Ultrasound images.

Strong 3D imaging functions. Surgical planning and real-time navigation are based on 3D image models of patients;

Detailed specified surgical planning feature. Simulating ablation area and needle placement are planned for needle tip to cover whole lesion region for optimal region treatment.

	Pari-path surgical navigation	Other surgical navigation
Position accuracy	about 1~2 mm^* in a wide region	In a region close to sensor
Direction accuracy	about 0.5⁰~1⁰ ^* in a wide region	N/A
Needle	popular needle-liked instruments	special needles only
Sensor	reusable	expensive, disposal
Register method (mapping image with world space)	pari-path^TM method 1. accurate in a wide region 2. register accuracy <1 mm^* displayed on screen 3. no need surgeons to handle markers just a mouse click	metal-markers method 1.accurate in a wide region 2.need to handle markers
Register method (mapping image with world space)		sensors as markers 1. good accurate in a region near to sensors 2. poor accurate in a region far from sensors 3. no need to handle markers
Fusion of CT & US method	1. robust accuracy about 1~2 mm^* 2. no need surgeons to select common spots on images	1. accuracy not robust, maybe poor to ~cm 2. need surgeons to select common spots on images
