How Trackers are Used in Medicine Click here

Imagine the day when 90% of medical procedures are performed with minimally invasive tools.

It’s coming...

And Ascension is leading the way with tiny 3D sensors that track the movement of instruments in vivo. Radiation-free catheter navigation, guided ultrasound, needle placement, and scope localization are now available.

We have just invented third-generation magnetic tracking technology to make it all possible. Our micro-miniaturized sensors work without hassle or workarounds in medical environments. Let Ascension guide your instruments to internal targets—precisely, unobtrusively and affordably.

A WORLD OF APPLICATIONS

	• Surgical Navigation
	• 3D Ultrasonic Visualization
	• Percutaneous biopsy and ablation
	• Catheter Guidance
	• Patient Gating and Registration
	• X-Ray Beam Alignment
	• Prenatal Monitoring
	• Fusion of Imaging Modalities
	• Image-Guided Procedures

RELIABLE TARGETING

Our full suite of tracking devices will meet all your navigation and guidance needs:

• DC magnetic technology for improved accuracy.

• Low cost, disposable sensors.

• Multiple transmitter configurations for tracking on hospital beds and tables.

• Simultaneous tracking of multiple sensors.

• 5 DOF and 6 DOF measurements.

• Optical and hybrid tracking options.

Biomedical references and medical procedures described here are examples of what can be accomplished with tracking and imaging technology once users or system integrators have complied with all regulatory clearances. All pertinent FDA/CE/IRB and international medical certifications must be obtained prior to using these technologies in humans.
