The companies say Arietta Precision in conjunction with Brainlab’s surgical navigation system “becomes a powerful intraoperative neurosurgery solution.” It delivers advanced guidance and image quality for critical surgical decisions. Together, the end-to-end solution provides comprehensive intraoperative information, leveraging both imaging and navigation.
Fujifilm and Brainlab’s combination product uses intraoperative ultrasound during neurosurgery to give surgeons real-time insights. Digital integration offers streamlined setup for cranial imaging and “plug-n-play” workflows.” These workflows feature pre-calibrated and sterilizable neurosurgery transducers. The technology also offers automatic view layouts and 3D superimposition for more comprehensive overviews.
According to a news release, Fujifilm expects the combination to enhance surgical workflows for neurosurgery departments across the U.S.
Under their agreement, Brainlab will distribute Arietta Precision as a standalone product alongside and soon with its ultrasound navigation software. The companies expect to garner FDA clearance and commercial availability for the combined solution in mid-2024.
“Fujifilm has been a leader in neurosurgical ultrasound for decades and is committed to bringing to market systems and probes that help neurosurgeons make critical surgical decisions,” said Hideyuki Honda, VP, ultrasound solutions, Fujifilm Healthcare Americas. “The ARIETTA Precision was specifically designed for surgeons, and we believe the deep technology integration of Brainlab’s sophisticated software platform with the Arietta Precision will not only provide neurosurgeons with the technology they need for critical decision making but will enhance patient care across the nation.”
