Spine Guidance Software

Spinal surgery planning and navigation software powered by the Q Guidance System

Styker_BM_06_FNL_Rotated

With over 20 years development experience in navigation technologies, we've created the Q Guidance System with Spine Guidance Software to redefine possibilities.  

  • The first and only spine navigation software with pediatric indications for patients aged 13 years and older
  • Smart Segmentation with automatic screw planning
  • Compatible with legacy active tracking instruments

 

 

 

New capability, new benefits Today's robust spinal software provides full-spectrum active/passive hybrid optical tracking and semi-automatic and automatic processing to help simplify complex surgical tasks while aiming to elevate your confidence.

Features and benefits

  • Delivers groundbreaking surgical planning and guidance capabilities via active and passive optical tracking and Smart Segmentation capabilities
  • Automatic registration with Airo TruCT and Ziehm RFD 3D C-arm
  • 3D visualizations and multiple window options allow the user to customize their surgical views to focus on what's most important

Spine Guidance Software Planning

Auto segmentation

 

 

Smart Segmentation:
Vital planning insights

  • Leveraging fan beam CT technology enables sophisticated algorithms to segment the spine to the bone surface level
  • Identifies and auto segments vertebral key points
  • Defines a coordinate system for each vertebra
  • Refines the x-y plane to be as parallel as possible to the vertebra endplate

 

Automatic screw suggestion:
Tailored per patient

Once you select the vertebrae to be instrumented, the software uses sophisticated segmentation algorithms to calculate multiple anatomical metrics (transverse angle, isthmus, pedicle length/depth, diameter). It uses this information to label the vertebral level and will automatically recommend screw size and position, which is then verified by you.

  • Works with a variety of our Spine fixation systems whose specifications are pre-programmed
  • Select screw system from drop down menu; software recommends a screw size and placement based on patient's actual anatomy
  • Allows “virtual screw placement” prior to real insertion based on the patient's actual anatomy

utilizing Airo TruCT

 

Allows imaging and navigation to act as one

  • Helps maximize the potential of our sophisticated anatomical processing algorithms1
  • Seamless integration; select Airo TruCT as “registration method”
  • Flat Stick-on Fiducials enable automatic registration without SpineMask
  • Airo's large field of view enables visualization of the skin surface within Spine Guidance Software
  • Intraoperatively scans a full meter of spine in one acquisition (reduces need for multiple spins2)
  • Long spine constructs captured in a single scan executed in as low as 43 seconds3
