Insightec has launched Exablate Prime, an enhanced version of its Exablate Neuro platform. Exablate Prime is the culmination of over 10 years of research, according to the company.
Like its predecessor, Exablate Prime allows incisionless neurosurgery as an outpatient procedure for movement disorders like essential tremor. Its new improvements include:
"Our unwavering commitment to enhancing patient care through innovative technology led us to develop Exablate Prime," said Maurice R. Ferre, MD, chairman and CEO of Insightec. "Although Exablate Neuro has revolutionized the field of neurosurgery, Exablate Prime takes it to entirely new levels, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We couldn't be more proud of the end result—Exablate Prime is the future of incisionless neurosurgery."
Exablate Prime is available in the U.S. as of this month.
Like its predecessor, Exablate Prime allows incisionless neurosurgery as an outpatient procedure for movement disorders like essential tremor. Its new improvements include:
- A user interface with guided workflows, automated steps, and a streamlined UI
- Intelligent algorithms for one-click skull-density-ratio (SDR) calculations, automatic fusion and AC/PC identification, and efficient no-pass region detection
- Temperature-driven control enabled by an accurate temperature prediction algorithm
- Precise targeting and lesion shaping with sub-millimetric targeting control and advanced shaping masks
- Plane thermal spot visualization, cumulative thermal dose overlays
- Improved cybersecurity, PACS connectivity, remote planning, and troubleshooting
- Automatic MR scan acquisition, intelligent targeting tools, and larger MR data sets in one planning session
- An optional, upgraded 3T head coil
