Loop-X® is a mobile imaging robot developed for intraoperative 2D and 3D imaging. In the context of the Brainlab Functional Neurosurgery portfolio, Loop-X can provide stereotactic frame localization, intraoperative scans for lead placement verification, 2D shots for lead depth verification and Automatic Registration scans for navigation.

Patient-tailored
design

When it comes to intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) solutions, Loop-X offers the largest bore size on the market at 121 cm, making it easy to test and monitor patients at any time before, during and after surgery. Thanks to its non-isocentric imaging capability, patients remain the focal point, eliminating the need to position them precisely at the center of the gantry.

Seamless surgical
registration

Loop-X streamlines surgical workflows by enabling patient registration scans directly in the O.R., eliminating the need for patient transfers during functional neurosurgery. Whether used in combination with Cirq for image-guided surgery (IGS) or in frame-based procedures, the large scan volume and advanced imaging capabilities support precise and efficient registration, integrating into your surgical routine with ease.

Time efficiency and accuracy in the O.R.

The robotic features of Loop-X support precise and efficient accuracy verification during functional neurosurgery procedures. By seamlessly aligning and realigning to challenging 2D imaging positions and reacquiring 3D spins with the push of a button, Loop-X facilitates real-time accuracy checks for implanted leads and electrodes.

Experience Loop-X in a functional neurosurgery workflow

Before surgery

Before surgery begins, clinical teams can utilize the advanced features of Loop-X to streamline workflows and focus on patient-centric care.

Loop-X offers non-isocentric imaging, allowing medical professionals to prioritize accurate patient registration without the need to precisely align the patient’s head to the center of the bore.

Whether the stereotactic procedure is frame-based or frameless, Loop-X supports accurate localization of both registration fiducials and frame localizers.

When combined with Brainlab Navigation and Cirq, Loop-X can automate the intraoperative image registration.

During surgery

Precision is paramount in functional neurosurgery, where millimeters make all the difference.

Loop-X is designed to enable medical professionals to acquire fast, well-collimated 2D images that support rapid, dose-efficient accuracy verification during the implantation of leads, probes, or electrodes.

For navigation-supported procedures, Loop-X also allows surgical teams to re-register patients as needed by performing a 3D scan, with fast Automatic Registration supporting efficiency and precision.
