Archimedes software is installed on a desktop computer used to plan procedures and navigate to targets in the lung. The Procedure Module offers real-time navigation guidance for use during the bronchoscopy procedure. The Software provides the option to segment previously acquired CT or other DICOM data sets and overlay and register these segmented data sets onto live fluoroscopic X-ray images. The software allows visualization of the bronchial tree; helps guide the tools in or adjacent to the bronchial tree; allows visualization of a predefined target in lung tissue; and assists with placement of markers into soft lung tissue to guide radiosurgery and thoracic surgery.
A software application intended to add specific image processing and/or analysis capabilities to a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) used for virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN). It is typically used by a bronchoscopist as a navigation system to help plan and provide guidance of a flexible bronchoscope to predefined target sites [also referred to as region of interest (ROI)] in the lung tissue of the tracheobronchial tree. It typically uses computed tomography (CT) scans in digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) format. This software is typically installed in an off-the-shelf desktop or laptop computer.
