Excelsius3D Intelligent Imaging at Northwest Specialty Hospital.
Northwest Specialty Hospital now hosts the most advanced collection of spinal surgical technology in the country, according to a press release.
As one of only two hospitals in the nation with the Excelsius3D Imaging System and an ExcelsiusGPS Robotic Navigation System, it recently added the highly specialized ProAxis Spinal Surgery Table with advanced patient positioning technology.
The ExcelsiusGPS combines a robotic navigation platform, a rigid robotic arm with full navigation capabilities, custom fabricated interbody solutions and now the Excelsius 3D – an intelligent imaging system. The 3-in-1 imaging system combines CT, fluoroscopy and digital radiography in one system performing all intraoperative imaging needed during spine surgery.
It eliminates the need for multiple imaging systems exiting and entering the operating room during a procedure. It improves implant placement accuracy, lowers radiation exposure and shortens operative times,” according to the release.
The first of its kind, ProAxis features advanced hinge technology to provide unparalleled surgical access, precision and flexibility, according to the release. It has advanced hinge technology, allowing for flexion and extension of the lumbar spine with direct visualization of intraoperative changes in spinal alignment. ProAxis is radiolucent allowing the Excelsius3D imaging system to capture images of the patient intraoperatively. IntelliPendant, controls the ProAxis table and stores the exact position of the patient for precise, predictable and consistent imagery. Tempur-Pedic Medical Pad technology is incorporated into all patient surfaces.
“We are proud to feature one of the most advanced surgical spine solutions in the nation. We have performed more than 800 cases with ExcelsiusGPS and are now excited to add Excelsius3D to provide our patients with customized solutions for complex spine care that are more efficient and less invasive, thus improving surgical outcomes,” reports Dr. Roland Kent, founder of Axis Spine Center and surgeon at Northwest Specialty Hospital.
Northwest Specialty Hospital is recognized as an observation center, allowing surgeons from across the United States and the world to see how to integrate these technologies to develop innovative and fully customized approaches to complex cases.
