Philips announced physicians will now have access to its Image-Guided Therapy Mobile C-arm System – Zenition, granting advanced new 3D image guidance capabilities during endovascular treatment. The capabilities come as a result of a new partnership with Cydar, a UK-based specialist in cloud-based procedure maps software to plan and guide surgery in real time.
Cydar EV Maps helps planning, real-time guidance, and post-op endovascular surgery review. Cloud-based AI and computer vision help reduce radiation exposure, fluoroscopy time, and procedure time, while improving ease of use.1,2 Surgeons can create a detailed, patient-specific 3D map of target vasculature, then use the maps to augment intra-op live image-guidance. Maps can be updated to account for deformation during surgery, like guidewires and instruments deforming blood vessels.
“With Philips’ integrated portfolio, using validated AI and cloud technologies, we can facilitate collaborative care to optimize surgical pathways,” Karim Boussebaa, General Manager Image Guided Therapy Systems at Philips told the press. “Philips has a strong global network of mobile surgery systems and recognizes that Cydar’s EV Maps solution can play a key role in further improving our integrated offering for endovascular procedures.”
“By partnering with Philips to bring our Cydar EV Maps solution to Philips’ user-friendly Zenition platform of mobile C-arms, we are a step closer to achieving our mission to ensure every image-guided minimally-invasive surgical procedure goes exactly as planned,” said Paul Mussenden, CEO of Cydar. “The benefits of this combined solution, with integrated and enhanced procedure planning and visualization, include shorter and more predictable procedure times, reduced X-ray exposure to patients and staff, and fewer injections of iodine dye - the leading cause of in-hospital kidney failure.”
Cydar EV Maps is currently used in the EU, UK, and U.S.
