Health Canada greenlights IMRIS ceiling-mounted intraoperative

VISIUS iCT provides highest quality
OR imaging with low radiation dose management
WINNIPEG, March 26, 2015 /CNW/ - IMRIS Inc. (NASDAQ:
IMRS; TSX: IM) ("IMRIS" or the "Company") today announced that VISIUS® iCT, the first and only
ceiling-mounted intraoperative computed tomography scanner, has received Health Canada licensing allowing for sales and marketing
in the country.
"This completes our roll-out of VISIUS iCT for North
America and another step in our overall global distribution," said IMRIS President and CEO Jay D. Miller. "As procedures
become more minimally invasive, the need for better visualization with advanced imaging increases. VISIUS iCT places the highest
quality CT imaging inside the OR. This scanner delivers more flexibility for both bone and soft tissue scanning compared to other
intraoperative CT scanners on the market."
VISIUS iCT provides personalized dose management together
with diagnostic quality imaging during the surgical procedure to assist surgeons in critical decision making. Developed for the
neurosurgery and spine surgery markets, VISIUS iCT has the 64-slice Siemens SOMATOM® Definition AS scanner as its
core technology – making it the highest quality computed tomography imagery in an operating room. Unlike other mobile intraoperative
CT systems on the market, the VISIUS iCT can support complex brain tumor resection and neurovascular procedures.
"Both neurosurgeons and spine surgeons will find this
unique solution helpful in supporting the full spectrum of intracranial, spinal and neurovascular procedures," Miller added.
The scanner effortlessly moves into and out of the operating
room during surgery using ceiling-mounted rails to ease workflow. This enables multiple room configurations to meet both clinical
requirements and increase utilization without compromising image quality or exam speed. Patient transport and the need for floor-mounted
rails used in other systems is eliminated which opens up valuable OR space and allows unimpeded movement of surgical equipment
and simplified infection control.
In addition, VISIUS iCT features a suite of software applications
such as 3D volume rendering to aid in surgical planning and dose reduction which considers each patient's unique characteristics
to maximize image quality and minimize dose. The system software allows healthcare practitioners to visualize dosage prior to scan
and adjust settings based on the specific clinical need with detailed dosage reports produced after each scan.
