Gene Therapy Treatment Technology

The ClearPoint® Navigation System Software is an intuitive, menu-driven software for surgical planning, navigation to target, and device delivery. The software and MRI-compatible workstation coordinate with the scanner to effectively utilise intraprocedural MR images. This provides real-time navigational instruction for the neurosurgeon to reach the desired anatomical target with a high degree of precision.

Why is MR Compatibility Important?

  • MRI provides real-time confirmation of cannula placement and infusate coverage

  • Allows for accurate dosing to regions of interest in the brain

  • Enables intra-procedural adjustments to improve distribution

  • Allows for comparison of patient outcomes to infusion parameters
