The Walter Reed Army Medical Center s Neurosurgery Department has a requirement to upgrade their current Image Guided Surgery System (IGS). The Image Guided Surgery System will be used on the following anatomical areas: brain, spine, orthopedic and Ear/Nose/Throat (ENT). The IGS should incorporate computerized technologies of multi-dimensional (minimum 3-D) and navigation to enable neurosurgeons to precisely plan, re-plan and visualize a surgical procedure in real-time. The IGS should be capable of localizing or pinpointing a given target within the treatment area without damaging healthy tissue, muscle, nerves or blood vessels.The IGS System should be able to take images from the following imaging sources: X-Ray, Computerized Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound. The IGS system should be able to take the images from traditional imaging sources and be able to transform them into precise three-dimensional images (3D). The 3D images should be capable of being changed, manipulated and merged both before the surgical procedure as well as during the procedure.The IGS system should be capable of analyzing pre-operative diagnostic scans (i.e. CT, MRI) of the patient, and then be able to translate the information into precise 3D images that allow the surgeon to map the safest, least invasive path to the target site. In the operating suite, the IGS system shall be capable of producing 3D real-time images of the procedure while in progress. The IGS system shall be capable of merging images form multiple sources and manipulate pictures thus, allowing surgeons to view them from various angles. The IGS system should be able to incorporate the use of standard surgical instruments. The images and exact location of the instruments should be readily seen in 3D and in real-time during surgery with the use of the IGS system.
The IGS system should have software applications for the brain, spinal, orthopedic, and ENT surgeries. The software should be capable of allowing instant access to a patient s imaging (i.e. CT, MR, etc.) history. This retrieved information should be able to be used to assist in making treatment decisions.The IGS should consist of an electromagnetic tracking technology that uses a single-coil engineering to generate an electromagnetic field around the patient s target anatomy that can be tracked to triangulate the positioning of instruments and patient-tracking devices. The system should be user-friendly with easy to use features to allow the surgeon to concentrate on patient care and not use of the equipment.
