NaviSuite®
CT-U/S Navigator for Interventions
Based on proprietary, undisclosed MedCom technology
The virtual navigator technology combines two different imaging modalities: real-time ultrasound scanning and static imaging
(e.g. MR/CT) driving you inside the human body to reach the desired target
Thanks to the Fusion Imaging and the Tracking System you will have a perfect correlation of Ultrasound and MR/CT images significantly increasing precision and accuracy of image-guided diagnosis and interventional procedures.
NaviSuite® is the right, easy and fast solution
To improve your practical workflow by identifying the internal liver lesions and performing the follow-up in interventional imaging
NaviSuite allows you to merge MR/CT images with contrast-enhanced ultrasound real-time scanning, increasing your confidence through the use of the different modalities
Technology Licensing & Partnerships
NaviSuite®, developed by MedCom, is a powerful image fusion and navigation platform now licensed to Esaote and integrated into its ultrasound systems for use across various clinical specialties.
Virtual Navigator History
The idea
The Inspiration Behind Navisuite®
NaviSuite® came into existence as a result of an innovative idea that was born and nurtured to fruition.
