Neurosurgical Associates of Northwest Ohio, a division of Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS), recently installed an O-armTM Surgical Imaging System, an intraoperative 2D and 3D imaging system that is used to assist providers in placing hardware, removing cancerous activity and preforming a variety of procedures.
Used in conjunction with a navigation system, this system allows surgeons to receive a multidimensional view of the surgical location, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of injury. Spinal, orthopedic trauma, neurological and other types of imaging can be achieved with the O-armTM system.
