IV2

IV2 is a high performance surgical navigation system for ENT surgeries. Using advanced technology and high precision optical camera it offers surgeons more accurate and reliable navigation during surgery.

IV2 has fast, user friendly and robust software which provides simple and minimal hand interaction by more visualized and automatic procedures. This comprehensive software offers advanced facilities from pre-operative planning to post-operative documentation.

System supports wide range of data inputs such as CT scan, MRI and fMRI images and fuses them precisely. It has full integration with operation room devices such as microscope, endoscope and different imaging devices.

Ear/Nose/Throat applications

As with cranial surgery, extreme finesse is required to navigate the many small passages and cavities involved in ENT surgery. The navigation system can be used for:

  • Sinus surgery
  • Cyst and polyp removal
  • Optic nerve decompression
  • Frontal mucocele
  • Skull base surgeries

Import & Manage Image Dataset

  • Support different type of DICOM datasets, e.g. CT, MR and PET
  • Import images from different media, e.g., DVD, CD and memory stick
  • Capability to review dataset’s tree structure
  • Capability to review image dataset before loading
  • Capability to manipulate patient information within image dataset
  • Automatic detection of image dataset’s problems
  • Compatibility check of image datasets to comply with navigation requirements
  • Set predefined orientation of image dataset according to DICOM header
  • Orientation correction of image dataset
  • Add new image dataset to the existing data intraoperatively

Visualization

  • Easy to use visualization tools, e.g., zoom, rotate and pan
  • Image enhancement using window level adjustment, opacity setting, color coding, etc.
  • Capability to display images in full screen view
  • Graphical representation of the patient’s image orientation
  • Auto hide toolbars to preserve maximum screen view
  • Distance measurement

Image Fusion

  • Automatic fusion of images from different image modalities, e.g., CT and MR
  • Accurate and fast fusion, using advanced algorithms
  • Fusion refinement using manually selected landmarks

Navigation

  • Display the surgical tool’s orientation and tip position on the 2D images and 3D model
  • Capability to define check points for intraoperative verification of registration accuracy
  • Dynamic cutting 3D of the model at current position of the tooltip
  • Detect and compensate camera and patient displacement
  • Import and display video images during navigation ,e.g., microscopic and endoscopic images
  • Capability to freeze images in order to review, measure and other operations
  • Display fused images in 2D and 3D views
  • Audio-visual alarm when the tracker misses the reference or tools
  • Audio-visual alarm when the tooltip approaches to predefine to critical area
  • Intraoperative surgical simulation using virtual tip
