Intraoperative Applications
The combination of portability, speed and versatility in clinical applications makes portable intraoperative CT a highly cost-effective solution. The range of clinical applications includes cranial, spinal, ENT, head & neck, CMF, trauma, orthopedic and vascular surgery.
Soft Tissue Resolution
With the use of the BodyTomTM, the surgeon is presented with additional information through advanced CT
visualization. Not only can the BodyTomTM deliver high quality bone and spine imaging, but high resolution soft
tissue imaging not found with typical flat-panel fluoroscopic imaging. This may yield greater surgical precision with
improved patient outcomes. It also allows the surgeon to assess any complications which may have formed during
the procedure prior to taking the patient off the operating table.
Navigation Integration
The BodyTomTM produces fully DICOM 3.1 compliant images which can be automatically sent to all of the leading
computer assisted surgical navigation systems. This allows for the immediate update of the CT image for the
purpose of navigation. Images can be transferred to the navigation system directly via Ethernet connection or
through any form of external media (USB/CD/DVD).
Maintaining the Sterile Field
Maintaining the sterile field is of the utmost importance during every surgical procedure. Sterile drapes are
available which can be applied quickly to maintain the sterile barrier between the BodyTomTM and the operating field.
Portability & Ease of Use
The design of the BodyTomTM provides the convenience of truly portable scanning. Any existing
operating room can be utilized without any special modifications to the electrical supply. The BodyTomTM runs off
of standard wall power, giving it the flexibility to be used in multiple rooms for any number of procedures over the
course of the day.
Internal Lead Shielding & Radiation Protection
The BodyTomTM was designed with patient and staff safety in mind. We take the concerns about radioation
exposure seriously, which is why the BodyTomTM is lined with 0.5mm of lead to cut back on any of the x-ray
scatter off of the patient. A leaded shield is also provided on the BodyTomTM workstation to protect staff from any
unnecessary exposure.
