CT-based navigation systems for the thoracic spine (T1-10). Help or hindrance?
October 1, 2009 — Navigation of pedicle screws in the lower part of the thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbar spine has become a well estab- lished method for the correct placement of pedicle screws over the last few years. However, the accuracy of navigation has not always been sufficient for exact placement of pedicle screws in the upper and middle part of the thoracic spine with thin pedicles. This prospective study asks whether 3D navigation from two methods, namely new preoperative CT navigation matching software and intraoperative 3D navigation using 3D fluoroscopy, increase the accuracy of pedicle screw placement in the thoracic spine. | Read more »
Optimal insights in the OR
August 31, 2009 — The two German medical technology companies Ziehm Imaging and BrainLAB have increased their cooperation to make trauma and spinal operations safer and more efficient for both surgeon and patient. Thanks to the Ziehm NaviPort interface, with immediate effect high-resolution 3D images from the mobile C-arm Ziehm Vision FD Vario 3D can be used for the surgical navigation of BrainLAB. The new flat-panel technology of Ziehm Vision FD Vario 3D reproduces more than 16,000 grayscales. The distortion-free, fully digital images can display the finest anatomical structures in three dimensions and make complex, navigated surgeries safer. | Read more »
Abstract: application of the 3D-C-arm in the cervical and upper thoracic spine
July 1, 2009 — In the last few years, navigated surgical procedures in spinal surgery were established because of an increasing demand for precision. In particular, 3D-C-arms are now used more often in combination with navigation systems. These can be utilized intraoperatively to assist in planning as well as guidance of posterior instrumentation, especially in technically demanding areas such as cervical and thoracic spine. Complex procedures such as anterior surgical approaches where the resection of posterior wall fragments in unstable fractures with neurologic impairment can be performed using the assistance of navigation. The aim of this prospective study is to show the use of 3D navigation from mobile C-arm datasets in clinical use, compared to the CT-based navigation. | Read more »

June 10, 2009 — Ziehm Imaging is proud to announce that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given 510k clearance for the latest innovative mobile C-arm from Ziehm Imaging, the Ziehm Vision® RFD, for marketing and sales within the United States. | Read more »
Ziehm Imaging and BrainLAB Extend Partnership for Intra-Operative 3D Imaging and Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) to North America
May 7, 2009 — Ziehm Imaging, a provider of mobile imaging solutions for healthcare, and BrainLAB, a manufacturer of software-driven systems for targeted, less-invasive medical treatments, announced today they have extended their development and marketing agreement for the integration of mobile 3D C-arms and CAS to North America. | Read more »
New level of quality in image-guided navigation through the first-time integration of flat-panel C-arms into active navigation
May 4, 2009 — With the joint development of the Ziehm NaviPort 3D interface, the medical technology manufacturing companies Ziehm Imaging and Stryker have succeeded in importing 2D and 3D C-arm image data into Stryker active infra-red navigation systems. Stryker, currently the only global provider of surgical navigation systems, now supports image import from Ziehm Imaging’s new flat-panel C-arm, the Ziehm Vision FD Vario 3D. Users in the fields of minimally-invasive orthopedic, trauma and spinal surgery particularly benefit from the new level of quality in image-guided navigation. | Read more »
