Project Overview

TherVoyant has developed rapid means to orient adjustable brain ports affixed to the skull to guide a catheter to a specific spot in the brain with sub mm precision in a magnetic resonance imaging scanner. Before the craniotomy can begin, the skull needs to be marked with the entry point, which is dependent on either pre-surgical imaging or preferably imaging occurring within the surgical session itself. Our mission is to improve the current commercial methods of this process to reduce procedural time.
