PoleStar N20 Intra-operative MRI System

The PoleStar N20 provides quality MR images before, during and after surgery right in the OR. These powerful imagesenable the surgeon to:

• Plan the best approach and trajectory
• Locate and excise lesions with confidence
• Minimizesuncertainties due to changes in anatomy
• Evaluate the margins of a lesion
• Detect and remove residual tumor
• Verify complete resection prior to closure

The below images, unenhanced, were taken by the PoleStar N20. Few experts have ever imagined that a low-field magnet could produce such exceptional quality images.

Navigation without Registration

An innovative combination of intra-operative MRI and surgical navigation, the PoleStar N20 provides the surgeon with an automatic patient registration. Simply acquire images and navigate.

• Navigate on images acquired in the operating room
• Compare multiple scan series throughout the operation
• Update images as anatomy changes
• As close to real-time navigation as possible

No other iMRI system offers the capabilities and versatility of the PoleStar N20.

Capability without Compromise

The potential to use intra-operative imaging in every cranial procedure is now a reality. The PoleStar N20 design provides you with more flexibility than you thought possible. Usable in a standard OR with standard surgical equipment, the PoleStar N20is the only iMRI system to bring the MR to the OR.

• Does not require a dedicated operating room
• Can be used with standard surgical equipment (microscopes, drills, etc.)
• Supports any patient position
• Provides total surgeon control from the sterile surgical field

When not in use, the PoleStar N20 can be easily stowed so the OR can be used for conventional surgery. During an iMRI procedure, the unit can be positioned under the operating table completely, out of the surgeons way.

• Exceptional image quality from a low-field magnet
• Superior capabilities without compromise
• Designed to provide unprecedented patient access
• Navigation without registration
