Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale is now utilizing the Medtronic O-arm® Intra-operative Imaging System and the StealthStation® Surgical Navigation System for surgeries in the complex and delicate areas of the spine and brain.
The O-arm multi-dimensional surgical imaging platform provides real-time, intra-operative imaging of a patient’s anatomy with high quality images and a large field-of-view in both two and three dimensions. By integrating the O-arm with the StealthStation navigation systems, surgeons are able to perform less invasive procedures and confirm the precision of advanced surgical procedures before the patient leaves the operating room.
The Medtronic Cranial Stealth Navigation System produces 3D images that display, with the most precision available, the location of surgical instruments and structures in the brain. In addition, the scanner takes images rapidly and thoroughly which assists surgeons in tracking their surgical instruments when operating on patients whose illnesses, such as Parkinson’s disease, may cause involuntary movements.
