Sizing support in 4 simple steps

Ease of implementation

1

Import/Upload Data

Simple-to-use module to load DICOM images and/or 3D surface models from the patient’s vasculature.

2

Simulate

Ankyras facilitates a multi-faceted environment accessed via desktop, web, and mobile providing operating physicians with convenience and immediate access ranging from pure visualization to complete workflow control.
The workflow is run before the intervention with diagnostic 3D images and can be brought to the operating room using standard mobile devices.

3

Device sizing selection

Simulate the desired FD devices with a unique foreshortening algorithm and compare the results among the different sizes to predict the most suitable device for the patient.

4

Simulation sharing
(Web Only)

When the simulated device deployment is saved, the user can share the results among manufacturers, distributors and clinicians for case planning.
