Why Tractography

Tractography is a non-invasive tool that infers the location of the white matter. Understanding this patient-specific information may be used to inform safer treatment.

Tractography can be used to determine an approach to a tumor, to help define boundaries of resection, or for postoperative tracking of patient recovery.

Modus Nav Overview

Leverage brain mapping to support safe maximal resection

Navigate intraoperative tractography with automated white matter segmentations unaffected by pathology-induced edema.

Accurately track multiple intraoperative instruments

Instrument position and trajectory are accurately navigated and displayed in real time - including suction tools and MIS ports.

Precision medicine workflows through seamless integrations

Modus Nav combines data elements from Modus Plan, combining critical pre-surgical imaging data with Modus X optics in the OR.
