Elements Fibertracking—Matter that matters

Make informed decisions with advanced tracking1: Take full advantage of research-grade probabilistic tractography in your clinical practice to identify multiple fiber directions like crossing and fanning fibers, as well as fibers that may be present in edema. 

Use tracking templates to expedite your planning: Choose from a selection of tracking templates, (e.g., IFOF1, CST) that enable efficient, standardized and reproducible tracking of important white matter tracts in the regions of interest.

Motor and language mapping with Nexstim nTMS—Preserving what is essential

Increase resection rates: Preoperative nTMS analysis, combined with nTMS-based fiber tracking, improves the delineation of safe resection limits, leading to increased gross total rection rates and the potential for extended progression-free survival.1,2 

Discover the power of Nexstim nTMS combined with Brainlab Elements for Cranial Planning! Check out our hands-on demo to see how they work together to improve outcomes and find out why nTMS is an essential technique in neurosurgery.

Cranial Navigation—Detailed visualization. Intuitive control. 

When navigating, distraction-free concentration is essential. Detailed visualizations are tailored to show only clinically-relevant data, allowing the surgeon to focus on what’s necessary for their work.

Informed approach planning requires consolidated clinical data. Cranial Navigation summarizes relevant and detailed anatomical information in one dedicated view, helping surgeons identify the optimal craniotomy before making the incision.

Origin Remote Control allows for fast and efficient control of the navigation system with a tablet at any time during the procedure.

Microscope navigation with ZEISS KINEVO® 900 S & PENTERO® 800 S

Microscope Navigation introduces brand-new integration with ZEISS PENTERO® 800 S and ZEISS KINEVO® 900 S, the newest Robotic Visualization System. Experience the KINEVO® 900 S integration live at the ZEISS booth #60.   

Microscope Navigation for cranial and spinal procedures brings patient data directly into view—supporting surgical accuracy through real-time, in-line visualization. Integrated augmented reality in the microscope’s optical path provides visual context to aid intraoperative decisions, adapt to anatomical changes and maintain procedural focus. 

Cranial Microscope Integration with Navigation Software

Ultrasound Navigation—Dynamic layer of confidence

A whole new dimension. In real time. At any time. We’re delivering innovative, science-backed technology to help surgeons achieve their goal of maximum safe resection, even if brain shift or other navigational inaccuracies occur.   

Precision and confidence in navigating cranial resection challenges: Gain the navigational accuracy you need to address the greatest challenges in cranial resection: visualization of and compensation for brain shift, achievement of maximum safe resection and identification of residual tumor.  

Ultrasound Snap to MRI allows you to quickly realign preoperative MRI with intraoperative ultrasound, maintaining neuronavigation accuracy—even as anatomy shifts. This seamless workflow helps you correct registration errors in real-time and maintain surgical accuracy.

Cirq® for cranial biopsies—Streamline your tumor workflow

Accurate alignment to the right trajectories: Cirq® boosts alignment accuracy as software visually guides users toward the region of interest. Before the surgery, Elements Trajectory Planning supports defining the right trajectories. During the procedure, real-time visualization of the biopsy window guides surgeons toward the predefined biopsy target. Other trajectories can also be acquired using a virtual instrument offset.  

Consistent stability and precision: The custom drill guide helps keep incisions minimally invasive while the dedicated biopsy anchor for the skull adds stability to the frameless setup. Cirq® can also track pre-calibrated biopsy needle insertion and biopsy positions can be saved with a simple click of a button.

Spine Planning and Navigation

Navigation and robotics have made it clear that screw planning is becoming a necessity and standard practice in spine surgery. With Elements Spine Planning, you can benefit from level detection throughout the complete spine, automated measurements on 2D, and automated screw planning from cervical to sacrum on 3D. The automated functions deliver results and information in seconds, potentially saving time in daily routines and increasing efficiency of entire clinical workflows from planning to logistics to intraoperative data management. Navigation Software Spine & Trauma is the cornerstone of our spine workflow and acts as a central data hub as it seamlessly switches between applications, enabling the versatile surgery setup with Cirq®, Alignment Software Spine and Loop-X mobile imaging robot. Navigation of interbody instruments enables surgeons to navigate every step of their workflow, beyond screw placement.

Mixed Reality Viewer

Review plans for spine surgery in 3D. The Mixed Reality Viewer1 is a software that works in tandem with Brainlab Elements to produce hyper-realistic 3D patient data. In the context of spine surgery, this software enables medical professionals to review planned surgical procedures as well as explore anatomical structures and planned implant positions. When it comes to neurosurgical procedures, mixed reality technology enables healthcare professionals to gain a better understanding of a patient’s brain—layer by layer. This includes gaining insights into the location of a deep-seated tumor and identifying critical surrounding anatomical structures like the optical nerve, brainstem and fiber tracts.
