EOS imaging recently announced a new partnership with the Montreal-based Spinologics to develop biomechanical simulation software dedicated to spine surgery planning.
The new software will be integrated into EOS imaging’s cloud-based 3-D planning software and will allow surgeons to plan treatment from EOS 3-D dataset, according to a company press release.
The biomechanical model of the spine and pelvis will provide input to define a planned correction and will take into account spine stiffness. It also can predict the risk of failure along the course of treatment, the release noted.
“We have a lot of respect for the novel solutions that Spinologics has brought to the market to advance clinical outcomes for patients. Our co-development will be integrated in the next generation of our soon to be released 3-D spinal surgical planning. It is a strong added value to our web-based surgical planning applications, in line with our strategy of proposing to surgeons ‘virtual patients,’ 3-D patient specific models on which planning and simulation of surgeries can be performed,” Marie Meynadier, chief executive officer of EOS imaging, said in the release.
EOS imaging will have exclusive rights to the software and anticipates a release date of the first product by mid-2017, according to the release.
