Improving life and minimizing risk through medical assistance and training

MicroScribe® has become known as a timesaving, cost-reducing instrument for computer-aided design and 3D animation. But it's also become an important medical instrument that can improve safety and increase the efficacy of a wide range of medical procedures and treatments.

MicroScribe enables practitioners to construct, manipulate, and interact with detailed three dimensional computer models. In situations that require precise measurements, like prosthetic and orthopedic fittings, MicroScribe can eliminate the need for corrective fittings and re-sizing. It has also been shown to be effective for stereotactic registration and has been integrated into a range of computerized medical instrumentation systems.

MicroScribe technology is helping to advance computer-assisted surgery

Stereotactic Registration - MicroScribe technology can provide the link between 3D radiological images and the patient. Real time position information can be processed by your visualization system to align and correlate physical position with your data sets.

3D Ultrasound - 3D ultrasound enables new levels of visualization, enabling a practitioner to view an entire volume, rather than a single plane. To facilitate 3D Ultrasound, Immersion offers additional degrees of freedom and options for mounting transducers to the MicroScribe.

Image Guidance - MicroScribe based systems have been used in conjunction with CT, MRI, Ultrasound, and other imaging systems to enable pre-operative planning and image guided procedures such as biopsy, radiation therapy, and robotic hip replacement.
