“With Cranial Guidance Software powered by Q, neurosurgeons have
more surgical planning and guidance capabilities than ever before,
with a special focus on biopsies and shunt placements,” said Robbie
Robinson, president of Stryker’s Spine division. “This technology
has the potential to become the standard of care and a possible
means to increase accuracy and efficiency in the operating
room.”
The Q Guidance System with Cranial Guidance Software uses both
active and passive tracking technology to provide groundbreaking
planning and guidance capabilities that include:
- A proprietary camera: Stryker’s new 4th generation
FP8000 camera offers increased speeds compared to products
currently offered in the market.1
- Dual PC system: One PC powers the operating system's
applications while the other provides real-time patient data.
- Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and tractography: DTI
uses anisotropic diffusion to estimate the brain's axonal
organization, reconstructed in 3D.
- Precision Targeting System: Enables navigated biopsy of
cranial tissue by using comprehensive guidance data and imaging to
pre-plan an approach for entry point.
- Electromagnetic catheter placement: Enables pinless
shunt procedures.
“With Stryker’s new camera technology, we were able to quickly
register patients using the CranialMask Tracker,” said Dr. J.D.
Day, M.D. of UAMS Health in Little Rock, Arkansas. “The new user
interface and workflows are slick, and our staff loves the
intuitive new views like 3D targeting and the new skull stripping
feature.”
The Q Guidance System with Cranial Guidance Software was used at
six early product surveillance sites in May 2023.
