NeuroLogica teams with Stryker on portable CT platform

NeuroLogica has partnered with Stryker Navigation, a business unit of Kalamazoo, Mich.-based Stryker, to develop an integrated surgical navigation unit for NeuroLogica’s portable BodyTom 32-slice CT scanners.

Compatibility between the companies’ technologies will assist with a variety of medical procedures, including spine, trauma, neurosurgery and ears, nose and throat, according to NeuroLogica. Stryker’s neuro-navigation platform offers automatic patient registration capability with NeuroLogica’s BodyTom.

BodyTom, the latest in Danvers, Mass.-based NeuroLogica’s portable CT imaging line, is a 32-slice scanner with 85 cm gantry and 60 cm field of view.
