Therapy & Interventional
Interventional settings require dedicated features and solutions that allow the accurate treatment of any type of patient.
Esaote is committed to providing the shortest and most effective path to patient care.
Imaging-Guided Procedures
Virtual Navigator uses all the advantages of different modalities to provide a real-time, low-cost, radiation-free solution to help guide operators with their diagnosis - within everyday clinical practice, interventional procedures, research and teaching.
Virtual Navigator increases diagnostic confidence by enabling users to:
- VISUALIZE different datasets with real-time multimodality fusion imaging for diagnosis
- PLAN the best scanning and targeting approach
- GUIDE the operator during interventional procedures
Real-time Ultrasound Fusion imaging between Ultrasound and a wide range of second imaging modalities (MRI, CT, PET, 3D Imaging, Doppler and Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound) is available for many clinical applications:
- Abdominal: Liver, Kidney and Pancreas
- Urology: Bladder and Prostate
- Neurology: Brain
- Neurosurgery: Brain burr hole interventions
- Vascular
- Musculoskeletal
- Breast and Axilla
