Functionalities as individual as your cases

Craniomaxillofacial surgery planning is complex. With every case presenting unique challenges, you need tools that offer unique functionalities. Brainlab Craniomaxillofacial Planning software automates the steps that can slow you down while enriching patient data in new ways to help you make informed decisions. You can plan swiftly and intuitively, no matter how complex the case.

Take your plan a step further by adding mixed reality viewing, navigation1 and robotic intraoperative imaging to achieve your ideal outcomes for mid-facial reconstructions and tumor resections.

Automation at every step

We’ve built automation into every step of the planning workflow including data alignment,
image fusion, object outlining, segmentation and mirroring as well as implant positioning.
Save time while still thoroughly preparing for the procedure.

Customize your planning with Brainlab Elements

Brainlab Elements are software applications designed to automate and simplify planning and case preparation. Completely customizable, you can choose which Elements fit your reconstruction needs, from interactive data review to atlas-based segmentation and mirroring of structures to vendor-neutral import of binary STL files. Add the functionalities that will help you most, since these applications all fit seamlessly into your existing workflows.

Data Review

Easily align patient images

In CMF planning, correct alignment of the dataset is the first critical step. With Elements Viewer, imported DICOM data, such as MR, CT or cone beam CT scans, can be viewed in axial, coronal, sagittal or 3D and automatically aligned according to symmetry planes for simple comparison of both sides in one view.

Brainlab Elements planning applications and mixed reality in practice

I see the Mixed Reality Viewer as a major innovation in patient education for head and neck oncology, craniomaxillofacial reconstructive surgery and traumatology.

Craniomaxillofacial planning software improves my daily work especially in complex mid-facial reconstructions and tumor treatments. Additionally, the transfer of the planned data to intraoperative systems like imaging or navigation platforms increases my clinical outcome as I can perform a live intraoperative check of my preoperative plan.

Elements planning software allows me to preoperatively decide on the best possible treatment for my patient. It supports me with patient-specific automatic segmentation of all relevant structures and reconstruction with implants to plan the optimal treatment outcome.

Preoperative planning with the Mixed Reality Viewer will give us the ultimate view into virtual reconstruction from standard orbital implants to complex mid-facial fractures. A final check of the implant and all close-by structures will help surgeons to ensure the best possible patient treatment.
