To diagnose and biopsy a suspected lesion or region of interest in the lungs, physicians need to visualize and confirm the precise location of nodules and tools, yet often the position of a nodule can differ from pre-operative CT images because of the differences in respiratory patterns, patient positioning, and other factors, resulting in CT to body divergence, at time of the procedure.\n\n\nGE HealthCare’s OEC 3D intraoperative mobile CBCT continues to demonstrate imaging excellence and versatility for every day procedures ranging from neuro-spine and orthopedic trauma to interventional procedures, such as bronchoscopy.\n\n\nToday’s announcement brings the following additions to the OEC 3D C-arm to help improve visualization of airways in the lungs during bronchoscopy procedures:\n\n\nOEC 3D Lung Suite: The OEC 3D enables clinicians to visualize both 2D and 3D images of the lung using a single mobile C-arm. For advanced imaging during endoscopy procedures, the OEC 3D Lung Suite includes:\n\n\n\nAugmented Fluoroscopy overlay of 3D points of interest on live fluoroscopy images.\n\n\n\nAdjustable motorized 3D scan to accommodate patient or equipment positions during a spin.\n\n\n\nOEC Open: During bronchoscopy procedures, clinicians may use navigation or robotic assistance, in addition to advanced imaging, to reach the region of interest during the interventional procedure. To help enable this workflow, OEC 3D C-arms provide an OEC Open interface for automatically transferring 3D volumetric data post reconstruction to verified navigation and robotic systems.\n\n\nA recent addition to the OEC Open offering is a verified interface with the Intuiti...
