The FDA has provided clearance for GE Healthcare's OEC 3D surgical imaging system for spine surgery and joint replacement.
OEC 3D provides both 2D and 3D imaging and is open to integration with intraoperative technologies such as navigation and robotics, according to a March 22 news release.
The system recently completed clinical evaluations in vivo and in simulated laboratory procedures.
"Built on the successful OEC Elite C-arm platform, the familiar performance and functionality of the OEC 3D C-arm will make 3D imaging routine for complex spine and joint replacement procedures," said Gustavo Perez Fernandez, president and CEO of GE Healthcare Image Guided Therapies.
