Medtronic announced the commercial launch of several software, hardware and imaging enhancements designed to advance AiBLE, the Medtronic smart ecosystem of navigation, robotics, data and AI, imaging, software and implants that support more predictable outcomes in spine and cranial procedures. In line with its commitment to increasing the quality of care for patients with spinal conditions, the company also announced a partnership with Siemens Healthineers to explore opportunities to further expand access to advanced pre- and post-operative imaging technologies for spine care.
New advancements in the AiBLE ecosystem include the following:
O-arm 4.3 software, which introduces advanced navigation volumes, dose reduction and enhanced image confirmation. With this release, Medtronic now offers the industry’s longest 3D scan length for cone-beam CT images, which allows surgeons to capture additional spine levels in one scan. O-arm is the first and only intraoperative imager that uses AI, with 70% less radiation dose compared to the standard protocol, while maintaining image quality. Medtronic Implant Resolution further supports decision-making by reducing metal artifacts around select screws, enabling confident final screw placement.
UNiD Adaptive Spine Intelligence (ASI), an integrated service and software platform that leverages AI and predictive models to help surgeons deliver patient-specific surgical plans and implants, now includes MRI Vision, which integrates with CoLumbo from Smart Soft Healthcare into the UNiD workflow. This new tool employs computer vision technology to automatically analyze lumbar MRIs to segment, label and measure key aspects related to common pathologies. MRI Vision will allow spine surgeons using UNiD ASI to access automated PDF reports and annotated DICOMs (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) in the UNiD Hub to identify and quantitatively measure areas of interest such as muscle area with fat infiltration, key spinal alignment angles, key characteristic related to stenosis and more. UNiD is powered by more than 28,000 patient procedures and continues to grow in adoption worldwide.
Mazor robotic guidance system with 5.1 software, the only spinal robotic system that integrates AI, bone cutting and graft delivery. Mazor enables comprehensive preoperative and intraoperative planning that goes beyond screw placement to include complete construct design with screws, rods, interbodies and bone removal. The newest version of 5.1 software introduces Maximum Intensity Projection, which supports improved image quality.
New implant innovation with ModuLeX Spinal System, which offers increased visualization of the surgical area while allowing the operative flexibility to create an optimized construct for the patient. ModuLeX is the next generation of the Medtronic CD Horizon fixation product family.
Medtronic also unveiled a global partnership with Siemens Healthineers. The two companies anticipate co-marketing the Siemens Healthineers Multitom Rax imaging system and integrating the platform into the AiBLE ecosystem for spine surgery. The companies also anticipate collaborating across technology development, marketing and commercial activities to advance clinical outcomes.
Multitom Rax offers a combination of imaging technologies that can be used across musculoskeletal conditions, including spinal patients. It offers standing, weight-bearing imaging, cone-beam CT and supine x-ray capabilities.
“Partnering with Siemens Healthineers advances our commitment to reduce variability and improve outcomes for spinal patients,” said Skip Kiil, president of Medtronic Cranial & Spinal Technologies, which is part of the Medtronic Neuroscience Portfolio. “We are thrilled with the prospect of working with the industry leader in imaging and to leverage the depth of imaging experience and expertise, commercial footprint, and shared commitment to data science to advance our AiBLE strategy and shared pursuit of better patient outcomes.”
