This helps doctors determine the best treatment plan. Surgery Planning: For patients who need brain surgery, cerebral angiography can provide precise vascular images to help surgeons plan surgical paths and reduce surgical risks. ...
Intra-operative identification of nerve tissues using a stimulated EMG produces a waveform known as a compound motor action potential (CMAP) and is standard of care in brain, spine, and facial surgery. The Author used a new technology that elicits and records CMAP’s during RALRP and evaluated the ability to identify and preserve the nerves innervating the ...
This is the age old question of ‘What part of the brain is responsible for ___?’ For clinicians, this assists in determining where the source of certain disorders may originate and what, for example, should be preserved during brain surgery. ...
Developments of sophisticated robotic surgical interventions and world-class implants in deep brain surgeries are gaining significance and attracting investors from foreign countries. India also meets the 15 country-average in the usage of artificial intelligence within the healthcare domain. Treatment for major surgeries in India costs ...
Alcyone Lifesciences is a medical technology company based out of Lowell, MA, which specializes in central nervous system (CNS) drug delivery platforms for targeted infusions of the brain or spinal cord. Their Thecaflex DRx System was recently awarded Breakthrough Device designation by the FDA, for spinal infusion of therapeutic medications. Medgadget had the opportunity to speak with Alcyone ...
A fibre-optic probe can detect errant cancer cells within healthy tissue during brain tumour surgery with close to 100 per cent accuracy and sensitivity, reducing the risk of recurrence and thereby increasing a patient’s survival time, say the Canadian researchers who developed the device. ...
The company supplies products and services used in applications as diverse as jet engine and wind turbine manufacture, through to dentistry and brain surgery. It is also a world leader in the field of additive manufacturing (also referred to as 3D printing), where it is the only UK business that designs and makes industrial machines which ‘print' parts from ...
Advances in engineering and imaging techniques have sparked further interest in computer-assisted and robotic neurosurgery. The need for precision during brain surgery has led to an increase in computer-assisted surgeries (CAS). This technique involves using imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerised tomography ...
