The system, which is part of the IQQA platform and product suite, expands the IQQA precision 3D imaging analytics into the operating room.
IQQA anatomic models, which are extracted from multi-modality images, are used for on-the-fly 3D navigation to enable physicians to see organ surfaces and quantitatively reference anatomies of interest in 3D during surgery.
According to clinical studies, the IQQA-Guide may help reduce the use of intra-operative CT scans during image guided surgical procedures.
EDDA Technology president Dr Jianzhong Qian said: "With the latest FDA clearance, the IQQA platform now covers pre-operative planning, intra-operative navigation and monitoring, and post-operative assessment to complete the full cycle of imaging guided precision treatment.
