XperGuide provides live 3D needle image guidance that helps bring percutaneous needle interventions back to the angio lab. This navigational tool creates an overlay of live fluoroscopy and 3D soft tissue imaging (Philips XperCT) that provides information on needle path and target. XperGuide can be used in a wide range of clinical procedures from biopsies and drainages to RF ablations.
Live 3D needle image guidance provides critical support
- XperGuide image provides live 3D feedback on advancement of needle for extra guidance and control during procedures
- Gives physicians more freedom in planning and performing needle punctures
- Offers ideal patient access for every step of the procedure
- Allows needle guidance procedures to be performed in the angio lab where all the necessary materials are at hand
- Live fluoroscopy combined with 3D soft tissue imaging supports the physician in managing the patient
Control and confidence with 3D soft tissue imaging and live fluoroscopy
XperGuide shows the advancement of the needle in real-time based on the user-defined trajectory. The live fluoroscopy image is superimposed on the XperCT 3D soft tissue imaging to provide live needle guidance feedback on deviations from the path. This 3D overlay image gives clinicians control and confidence that they are guiding the needle along the correct puncture path.
| Fewer imaging exams and higher comfort for patients with Live 3D needle image guidance The CT-like image can be acquired on the angio system so the patient does not have to undergo a separate CT examination, which can eliminate additional imaging procedures. XperGuide takes advantage of the “interventional suite” environment to enhance clinical workflow and further ensure optimal patient comfort. |  |
