Medtronic O-Arm™ Imaging System
Precision is key when surgeons operate on a part of your body as intricate as your spine. The Medtronic O-Arm™ Imaging System gives your surgeon highly detailed images of your spine. The level of detail makes extreme precision possible and simplifies surgery for your surgeon and you. Compared to more traditional spine surgery, O-arm™ surgery may lead to better outcomes.
How the Medtronic O-Arm™ Imaging System Works
Medtronic O-Arm™ imaging provides 2D and 3D images of your spine and the anatomy of your back. The imaging system is in the operating room during your surgery.
The Medtronic O-Arm™ Imaging machine encircles your body as you lie on the operating table, forming a ring. In just seconds, it creates images that pinpoint the exact location of your spine problem.
With multidimensional imaging, surgeons can precisely plan your surgery and map out each step of your operation. The system also guides your surgeon’s movements in real time so they can more accurately place instruments and implants, such as screws or other hardware.
