Equipment

We provide specialized equipment for research projects and surgical training.

 

Please note that the equipment listed below is not included in the base price, and an additional fee may be required. In addition, some of the specialized equipment such as intraoperative imaging devices typically includes a trained operator for device usage. Most of the research equipment requires additional technical support. The assistance will depend on the specifics of your research.

Intraoperative imaging

  • Intraoperative Imaging in the operating room
  • Advanced intraoperative imaging system for surgeons
  • Real-time surgical imaging technology
Intraoperative imaging

The OR-X offers intraoperative imaging devices that can be integrated into our Brainlab Digital OR system. The generated medical image data is available as a download after the session. The following intraoperative imaging devices are available:

  • Cone Beam CT – Siemens Cios Spin (OR-X Standard)
  • Use of a mobile Ziehm Vision FD (CMOS) C-Bogenon possible on request 

ROBOTICS

  • Surgeons and researchers perform a robotic surgery experiment
  • Surgeons and researchers perform a robotic surgery experiment.
ROBOTICS

The OR-X offers the following bookable components, together with a device expert, for the experimental sessions: KUKA Robot LBR Med 14 R820, including a robotic arm, a PC controller, a controller interface, and a support table for the robot.

AR/VR Displays

  • AR VR glasses in a operating room
  • Medical Extended Reality
  • AR Glasses closeup
  • AR Glasses in translational surgery
AR/VR Displays

We offer the possibility of renting Head Mounted Displays from Microsoft, Meta and Magic Leap, which offer unparalleled opportunities for intraoperative visualization and navigation.

CAMERA TRACKING

  • Modern research camera in op setting
  • Scientific research in progress
CAMERA TRACKING

The OR-X also offers several camera and tracking systems. The Azure Kinect (Depth and RGB Camera) and the Zed Mini (Depth Camera) cameras can be mounted on the ceiling. A custom rail system allows for flexible installation at any points in both the OR and the Skills Lab.

State-of-the-art surgical tracking and navigation systems can be rented for testing, comparison and validation of novel navigation methods. Tracking and navigation systems are ideal to foster surgical training of computer-aided surgery techniques. The Atracsys FusionTrack 500 tracking and navigation system is integrated into the OR-X as well.

HIGH PERFORMING COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE

HIGH PERFORMING COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE

The OR-X features a DGX POD, a reference architecture developed and tested specifically for running AI and deep learning applications:

  • DGX A100 P3687 System
  • 8x NVIDIA A100 80 GB Tensor Core GPUs
  • 320 GB of GPU Memory

The Fast-Storage NetApp AFF A400 high-availability cluster is designed for high-performance reloading of experiments into the DGX servers. Data generated before, during, or after an experiment can be stored securely and made available for further processing at an extremely high level of performance:

  • NetApp AFF A400
  • Capacity RAW / Usable: 92.16TB / 56.09 TiB
  • Workload Capacity: 30TiB
  • Throughput / IOPS: 10000 IOPS

Possible connections from OR and Skills Lab are: SDI, HDMI, XLR, Ethernet, 3.5 mm audio, USB (2.0, 3.0). Each of the single signal encoding hubs is connected via 10 Gbit/s SFP+ to the collection switch. The network of the HPC server supports a bandwidth of 100 GB/s.
