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

Increase resection rates: Preoperative nTMS mapping data, 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 

Improve clinical outcomes: Using nTMS mapping results as a region of interest facilitates function-based fiber tracking and may improve motor outcomes in tumor resections.1,2 

Discover the Nexstim NBS6 System3, and experience the power of nTMS combined with Brainlab Elements for Cranial and Functional Neurosurgery Planning.

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, DRTT1) that enable efficient, standardized and reproducible tracking of important white matter tracts in the regions of interest.

Microscope Navigation—Clarity in every layer 

Microscope Navigation for cranial workflows 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. 

The Disposable Pre-calibrated Suction1 combines the functionality of a classic suction and a navigated pointer into one unique instrument. Try this tool to enable automatic microscope positioning with Microscope Navigation Robotic Movement.

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. 

Real-time correlation of intraoperative ultrasound and pre-op MRI: Gain valuable insights through instantaneous correlation between ultrasound and familiar pre-op MRI images. 

Precision and confidence in navigating cranial resection challenges: Gain the navigational accuracy you need to address the greatest challenges in cranial resection: visualization and support for compensation of 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.
