Stealth Indication for Cancer Treatment

Consultation

Indication and Procedures

  • Indication:
    • Biopsy
    • Tumour resection
    • Deep brain stimulation lead placement
    • Spine decompression or fusion (including, but not limited to ACDF, ALIF PLIF, TLIF, cortical screw placement)
    • Spinal or pelvic fixation (including, but not limited to, SI fixation, placement of occipital pedicle, cortical, facet screws, fixation for scoliosis, kyphosis, or other deformity )
    • Treatment for spinal or sacral trauma (including, but not limited to, vertebroplasty, sacroplasty )
  • Procedures:
    • Biopsy and Tumour Resection

      Frameless biopsy solution provides control when accessing the lesion and navigating the biopsy needle.

      • Direct depth stop calculation for accurate location of lesion
      • Confirmation of biopsy location with biopsy needle navigation
      • Tailored procedural flow for your unique approach to surgery
    • Catheter Placement for MRI Guided Laser Ablation

      Stealth Station cranial reducing tubes support placement of Visualase laser catheters. The tubes are intended for use with the Vertek precision aiming device and biopsy instrument set.

    • Procedure with Stereotactic Frame:

      Uses Stealth software to create white matter tracts and seamlessly transfer the results to the Stealth Station for visualization of all the information together.

      • Export of patient data to PACs systems, DICOM nodes, and other StealthStation systems for review, storage, and use
      • Accurate, automatic, and manual image fusion of MR, CT, O-arm, MRA, CTA, PET and fMRI with Stealth Merge advanced image correlation algorithms and tools
      • 3-D segmentation and visualization from multiple datasets including white matter tracts, fMRI, cortical surface, and vessels
    • DBS Lead Placement

      DBS leads onto surgical plans to provide visualization of lead and contacts relative to the target and surgical plan.

      • Collect intra-operative MER data through annotations along surgical plans.
      • Provide a meaningful visual communication to the neurologist of what happened the day of surgery
