STEALTHSTATION™ PLANNING STATION

CHOICE AND FLEXIBILITY

  • Use the same interface and workflow as the StealthStation™ S8 navigation system
  • Review and merge scans; plan trajectories; and build models for tumor, shunt, or biopsy procedures
  • Develop plans and view frame coordinates for stereotactic frame-based and DBS lead placement procedures
  • Prepare fiber tracts using Stealth™ Tractography

StealthStation™ S8 Planning Station
Access StealthStation™ software outside the OR on a standalone computer with a small footprint that takes up minimal space in your hospital environment.

Go beyond DTI with Stealth™ tractography

Stealth™ Tractography implements both standard DTI and enhanced CSD techniques:

  • Tractography modeling is built into the Stealth™ S8 cranial application.
  • Enhanced CSD visualization better resolves crossing fibers and better identifies white matter tracts in presence of edema compared to DTI.1,2
  • Stealth™ Tractography displays enhanced, more anatomically complete fiber tracts in context to relevant structures and relationships.
  • The technology allows you to explore safe corridors and margins to reduce neurological impact.

cSD tractography better resolves crossing fibers compared to DTI2

Display more complete fiber tracts compared to standard DTI.

Probabilistic fiber tracting and a higher-order model of diffusion enables identification of multiple fiber directions in a voxel to address crossing fibers limitation of the DTI technique.

DTI has limitations in building fiber tracts when edema is present
