XperGuide

Live 3D needle guidance

XperGuide offers live 3D image needle guidance, letting you bring percutaneous needle procedures into the interventional lab. It overlays live fluoroscopy and 3D soft tissue imaging data from previously acquired CT or MR scans or Philips XperCT, providing information on the needle path and target.

Needle navigation technology with CBCT for accurate placement within 5mm from the target

Supports procedures from biopsies and drainages to radiofrequency ablations

By using XperGuide there is reduced patient effective dose compared to CT

Features

Live guidance for additional visualization

XperGuide shows progress of the needle in real-time based on a user-defined trajectory. The live fluoroscopy image is superimposed on soft tissue images, providing live 3D guidance and feedback on deviations from the desired path. This 3D overlay image gives you control and confidence in guiding the needle along the correct path.

Visualization and needle path planning

You can plan needle paths in two ways – by drawing a virtual path or by defining entry and target locations on different XperCT, MR or CT slices. XperGuide automatically calculates the gantry projections and parallax in the needle path visualization. It also supports multiple needle trajectories. All projections are instantly available and controlled at tableside. Moreover, XperGuide adapts in real-time to changes in C-arm angulation and rotation, field of view and source-image distance.
