Cranial Navigation ®

Introducing Brainlab's Cranial Navigation Application for detailed visualisation and intuitive control of your procedures.

Multi disciplinary, consistently designed, and easy to use. Maximise your workflow.

Features: 

Time-Saving Registration
Regardless of the patient’s position, Brainlab Cranial Navigation offers multiple techniques for referencing them to the system. Z-touch® and Softouch® are based on surface matching, making patient registration quick and easy by simply touching the patients’ skin with either a pointer or a laser. As both devices register CT and MR images without headsets or markers, registration scans can be avoided, helping to reduce neuronavigation costs and radiation exposure to the patient and O.R. team.
  • Pointer registration with or without markers
  • Touch-sensitive surface matching with Softouch
  • Contact-free surface matching with Z-touch
  • Compatible with all current Brainlab Combined surface matching registration applications
  • Pre- and intraoperative landmark registration
Approach Planning
Informed approach planning requires consolidated clinical data. Cranial Navigation summarises relevant and detailed anatomical information in one dedicated view helping surgeons identify their optimal craniotomy before making the incision.
  • Automatic segmentation of skin, bone, cortical vessels and cerebrum
  • 3D preview of the lesion and critical structures before opening the skull
  • Virtual scalpel simulates craniotomy and creates a bone flap object that can be saved for documentation
  • Approach planning in 3D and correlated inline or axial, coronal, sagittal navigation views provides spatial orientation
Easy-to-use Navigation
When navigating, distraction-free concentration is essential. Detailed visualisations are tailored to show only clinically relevant data, allowing the surgeon to focus on what’s necessary for their work. Optimisation of displayed data through automated functions like data selection and layout composition reduce screen interaction, making Cranial Navigation even more user-friendly.
  • Smart Approach view dynamically adapts and zooms according to resection progress
  • Overlay mode with fused CT and ultrasound data consolidates relevant anatomical details
  • Dynamic 3D view provides 3D context around the tool tip to help with orientation
  • Smart layout automatically displays optimal patient data in the most suitable layout
Vascular Navigation
Cranial Navigation Angio, lets surgeons easily identify feeding and draining veins on navigated digital subtraction angiography (DSA) data or locate a nidus object with dedicated view layouts. Based on a co-registration of angiographies and subsequent neurovascular contouring it helps to improve orientation and adds clinical context from anatomical 3D data.
  • Combines co-registered angiography pairs and navigated MR/CT reconstructions
  • Interactively displays dynamic color-coded contrast flow projections to assist with surgical target identification and analysis
  • Visualises 2D DSA data as Color Intensity Projection (CIP) to help identify feeding and draining vessels
  • Displays nidus object on navigation data

Digitilisation is transforming the world. We are transforming your operating room

With an increase of unstructured data from video sources, intraoperative imaging and surgical documentation, managing and targeting the right data in the operating room has become more important than ever.

The O.R. of the future is as much about data augmentation and information integration as it is about high-tech medical devices. At Brainlab, our mission is to streamline device and information usage and enrich clinical data before, during and after surgery.

We do this by providing the surgical team with an advanced yet easy-to-use toolset aimed at improving documentation, communication, integration, and ultimately patient outcomes. Built as an open, modular platform, Brainlab integrated Digital O.R. gathers, manages and displays the right data in all setups, whether simple or complex, from straightforward general surgery to high-end hybrid O.R.s.
