SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Brainlab neurosurgery systems are designed for both routine and complex surgical procedures, with intuitive user interfaces and automated workflows. Groundbreaking Elements applications help surgeons make the most of patient data during preoperative planning and even intraoperatively. With its sophisticated and flexible navigation tools, surgeons have the ability to log the patient's reference points regardless of the patient's position, reducing the need for additional scans which reduces cost as well as additional radiation exposure.
