Medtronic Navigation's Intra-operative Imaging Technologies

Medtronic Navigation offers two intra-operative solutions that give you immediate, dynamic decision support in the OR. These flexible offerings adapt to your clinical needs and allow you to track changes in patients’ anatomy during cranial tumor resection, spine and orthopaedic procedures.

• PoleStar^® iMRI Navigation Suite is the only compact intra-operative MR image guidance system that can be integrated into your operating room without extensive construction. The PoleStar^® iMRI Navigation Suite provides seamless integration of intra-operative imaging with navigated surgery for use in confirmation of cranial tumor resections. The PoleStar^® Suite can help eliminate complications resulting from anatomical changes during surgery (brain shift) and reduce the likelihood of repeat surgeries.
• O-arm™ Imaging System: The mobile O-arm™ Imaging System, developed by Breakaway Imaging, LLC and exclusively distributed by Medtronic, is a multi-dimensional surgical imaging platform offering 2D fluoroscopy as well as 3D volumetric imaging. The O-arm™ offers all the advantages of a flat panel detector in a mobile imaging system. Optimized for use in spine and orthopaedic surgery, it can help you achieve minimally invasive procedures and consistently improve patient outcomes through accurate in-OR information.
