Dr. Luhmann used the system to place 10 pedicle screws during surgery, according to a Dec. 21 news release. VisAR, from Novarad, helps improve precision and uses 3D imaging to superimpose datasets on the patient’s body.

VisAR was FDA cleared for stereotactic spinal surgery, and clearance for stereotactic cranial surgery is pending in the U.S. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
