Robotic automation
Advance your intraoperative imaging workflow with robotics—from spine level localization, incision planning and navigation-guided 2D imaging to pre-programmed parking and imaging positions.
Loop-X reduces scanner interaction, ensuring an optimized, time-saving workflow and giving surgeons imaging freedom and control in the O.R.
Meticulous design
Thanks to its thoughtful design, experience effortless flexibility in patient positioning, battery powered system maneuvering and seamless O.R. integration.
Loop-X is compact and lightweight with an all-in-one footprint. Independently moving source and detector, wide open gantry and wireless control tablet are all designed to increase its ease-of-use.
Reinvented imaging
Benefit from high resolution images while tailoring radiation levels and scan area to the needs of your case and the patient’s anatomy.
Loop-X enables an extra large field of view, continuous adaptive collimation, X-Ray filtration and reduced dose options. Acquired images can be automatically registered to your patient so you can start navigating right away.

FAQs – Loop-X
What intraoperative imaging devices are available for my practice?
There are several options on the market such as intraoperative CT scanners, 3D C-arms and other intraoperative cone beam CT (CBCT) systems including angiographic imaging systems. The most important factor to consider when selecting an intraoperative imaging system is how it will fit into your current and future surgical workflows. We’d be happy to answer your questions about which type of intraoperative scanner could be right for your hospital. Please reach out to us.
Should I choose a mobile intraoperative CT / CBCT scanner over a static one?
A portable CT scanner will allow you to be more flexible in choosing where you use the system and how you position it in the O.R. Some mobile CT / CBCT scanners offer a wide range of motion and could also benefit your workflow in terms of patient positioning and image acquisition. As a mobile imaging robot, Loop-X is designed for easy mobility and can be moved from room to room. Please reach out to us to discuss what options may be right for your operating room.
What is CBCT?
CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) is a technology similar to the traditional CT (computed tomography) except the X-Ray beam is projected in the shape of a cone and can cover large scan areas of the patient in a single rotation. The cone shaped beam of Loop-X can be manipulated to spare surrounding tissue from unnecessary radiation.
What is CT navigation?
The high quality images obtained from an intraoperative CT / CBCT can be used in combination with a navigation system. The intraoperatively acquired scans are loaded into the navigation software and instruments can be used to plan trajectories and even insert screws for most common spine procedures. It is also possible to fuse preoperative CT images to intraoperative images and increase the amount of patient data you bring into the O.R. To learn more about image fusion, please read our article How Image Fusion Supports Surgical Navigation.
