The surgical navigation system is precise for both open and minimally invasive surgery.

Novarad’s comprehensive solution comprises pre-surgical planning, segmentation, virtual annotations and two-way image connectivity.

Surgeons can use the technology to convert a patient’s imaging data into a 3D hologram, allowing for accurate projection onto the patient’s body.

This enables surgeons to focus entirely on the surgical objective without the need to divert their attention towards a separate monitor, ensuring precise surgical guidance.
