7D Surgical’s Machine-vision Image Guided Surgery (MvIGS) system has received CE Mark certification for spine surgery.

The MvIGS system is the only approved image guidance system that is equipped with a novel camera-based technology and machine-vision algorithms, the company said.

The platform “utilizes visible light to not only allow spine surgeons to perform spinal registration in just seconds, but it also allows each vertebral body to be registered independently,” 7D Surgical said. “As a result, system accuracy is not dependent on the position of the patient's spine or patient movement that may occur over the course of the procedure.”
