TRIGER - A Hybrid Imaging and Navigation System for Ultrasound Endoscopy
TRIGER - A Hybrid Imaging and Navigation System for Ultrasound Endoscopy
- Clinical Condition
- Bronchoscopy diagnostic, treatment and tissue biopsy collection from <5mm nodules located in the lung periphery (too far to reach with the bronchoscope).
- Current Practice
- The biopsy needle is advanced blindly towards the small target.
Patient discomfort, procedure/treatment delay, misdiagnosis. - Solution
- Electromagnetically or optically guided navigation system and proprietary navigation software for procedure planning and live navigation.
- Software adaptable to any minimally invasive procedure (bronchoscopy, endoscopy, colonoscopy, laparoscopy).
- Works on Mac and PC platforms.
