Clinical Markets
Discover NDI’s Optical and Electromagnetic Solutions Across Various Clinical Markets and Applications.
Optical Navigation Solutions
Cranial Neurosurgery
Providing advanced imaging solutions to assist in precise brain surgeries and interventions such as tumor target localization, SEEG, and DBS electrode placement.
Spinal Surgery
Enhancing the accuracy and safety of pedicle screw placement or disc replacement in robotic or computer-assisted, while reducing the need for CT or fluoroscopy usage.
Large Joint Orthopaedic Surgery
Providing optical solutions for robotic and computer-assisted navigation systems aimed at supporting surgeons in performing personalized implant positioning and bone resections.
External Neuromodulation
Facilitating non-invasive brain stimulation techniques used in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Surgery
Optically track the positions of endoscopes, shavers, and suction devices in real time to avoid contacting the optic nerve as well as other critical cranial anatomy near the sinuses.
Dental Surgery
Providing optical solutions to help visualize and position the placement of dental implants. By tracking the jaw’s position relative to preoperative CT scans and the tools such as the surgical drill, the correct drilling angle and depth can be maintained.
Electromagnetic Tracking Navigation Solutions
Interventional Radiology
Fuse a live ultrasound image with pre-acquired CT or MRI image sets to localize an ultrasound transducer and needle relative to each other within the same measurement volume, visualize needle trajectory for difficult cases or complete a 3D ultrasound construction using navigation.
Electrophysiology
Embed sensors into the tips of diagnostic and ablation catheters to create electro-anatomical maps, which can be used to navigate and target areas of the heart to be treated.
ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Surgery:
Electromagnetically track the positions of endoscopes, shavers, and suction devices in real time to avoid contacting the optic nerve as well as other critical cranial anatomy near the sinuses.
Peripheral Vascular
Track guidewires and catheters through difficult-to-access and/or tortuous anatomies for a wide variety of vascular, abdominal, and minimally invasive procedures.
Endoscopy
Embed a sensor into a scope to map and navigate complex anatomical tracts during colonoscopies and bronchoscopies, and to monitor the real-time position of the patient during the procedure.
By serving these diverse clinical markets, we aim to support our OEM partners, improve patient outcomes, and support healthcare professionals by delivering high-quality medical technology solutions. NDI remains committed to innovation, continually expanding our presence in emerging and evolving clinical markets.
Note: it is the sole responsibility of the medical device OEM to determine the suitability and intended use of 6D tracking technology.
