Pathfinder is pleased to announce that it has finalized the acquisition of its image guided surgery platform to University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Clinical use of the image guidance, led by David Geller, M.D., Director of the UPMC Liver Cancer Center, comes after the completion of an extensive clinical study of the image guidance technology. Dr. Geller’s clinical interests center on the evaluation and management of patients with liver cancers, and he is a pioneer in laparoscopic liver resection and ablation techniques. UPMC plans to utilize Scout, an image analysis software package, for preoperative liver volumetrics and 3D visualization of the liver and relevant anatomical structures, which aid in the surgical planning process. Explorer, the image guidance system, will be used to confirm the preoperative plan and thus minimize removal of healthy tissue while ensuring elimination of targeted cancerous tissue in open liver resection and ablation procedures.
