The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for Philips鈥� latest UroNav version, marking an advancement in image-guided navigation for prostate cancer care.
Philips UroNav is said to include a new annotation workflow designed to work with DynaCAD Urology, aiding clinicians during focal therapy procedures, offering a minimally invasive care approach.
This image fusion system combines pre-procedural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with real-time intra-procedural ultrasound imaging, increasing the accuracy of therapeutic procedures and providing a comprehensive view of the target area.
It accommodates both transrectal and transperineal biopsy methods, allowing clinicians to integrate fusion-guided biopsy according to their preferred approach.
During procedures, the clinical team can review biopsy targets and core samples during a 3D procedure, assisting in the identification of biopsy sample areas.
Additionally, UroNav facilitates viewing and exporting screen captures and video recordings from the fusion-guided biopsy.
