Compo

Compo^TM is a comprehensive surgical navigation system for Neurosurgeries, ENT, and Spine and Maxillofacial surgeries. This streamlined and easy to use system due to small footprint and its electrical adjustable height feature have greatly enabled surgeons to confidently perform complicated surgical operations and experience surgical navigation systems in its most simplistic form

Compo has a widespread medical application that has covered different kind of surgeries from a simple biopsy to complicated surgery. Surgical navigation system improves the quality and accuracy of the operations, and makes it possible to reach success in complicated and dangerous surgeries, which have had a lot of mortality before. In the field of neurosurgery surgical navigation system has different applications such as deep brain stimulations (DBS) or tumor dissections. The usage of this technology makes it possible for the surgeon to make sure that the tumor dissected completely without damaging the other healthy tissues. Also in other types of neurosurgery procedures , the desired points are identified easily and the exact position of them is specified during the surgery. Furthermore, in the field of ENT, the application of the navigation technology makes invasive surgeries to occur with less invasiveness and the act of difficult and delicate surgeries take place with much more accuracy and quality than the traditional surgery.

Brain applications

Brain structure is highly complex and it is necessary to approach brain surgery with extreme planning and cautiously to minimize the patient’s risk. The navigation system can be used for:

• Tumor biopsies
• Visualization of critical brain structures
• Tumor resection
• Skull base tumor resection such as adenoma, chordoma, craniopharyngioma, etc.
• CSF leak surgery
• Revision surgeries

Spinal applications

The complex construction of the spine — interconnecting bones and nerve bundles — requires extreme surgical finesse. Spine surgeons often have to calculate within millimeters to ensure the success of the procedure and optimal results for the patient. The navigation system can be used for:

• Repairing traumatic spinal injury
• Decompressing nerve roots

Ear/Nose/Throat applications

As with cranial surgery, extreme finesse is required to navigate the many small passages and cavities involved in ENT surgery. The navigation system can be used for:

• Sinus surgery
• Cyst and polyp removal
• Optic nerve decompression
• Frontal mucocele
• Skull base surgeries

Import & Manage Image Dataset

• Support different type of DICOM datasets, e.g. CT, MR and PET
• Import images from different media, e.g., DVD, CD and memory stick
• Automatic detection of image dataset’s problems
• Compatibility check of image datasets to comply with navigation requirements
• Orientation correction of image dataset
• Add new image dataset to the existing data intraoperatively

Image Fusion

• Automatic fusion of images from different image modalities, e.g., CT and MR
• Accurate and fast fusion, using advanced algorithms
• Fusion refinement using manually selected landmarks
• Fusion of image datasets with different voxel size

Segmentation & 3D Reconstruction

• Automatic and fast segmentation of bone and skin from CT images
• Easy semi-automatic segmentation of the selected regions
• Capability to specify the VOI (Volume Of Interest) for segmentation
• Display sections of 3D models in standard 2D views
• Capability to define critical anatomical regions to caution during the surgery
• Automatic volume calculation of segmented objects

Surgical Planning

• Preoperative simulation of surgical procedure in virtual environment
• Capability to set and modify target and entry points on 2D images or 3D model
• Capability to adjust visualization parameters of surgical path, e.g., color and opacity
• Trajectory animation of surgery approach
