Surgical Information Sciences Announces First Commercial Use of Recently Cleared Software for Improved Visualization of Brain Targets

PLYMOUTH, Minn., May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/  Surgical Information Sciences (SIS), a medical device company focused on improved targeting for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, announced the first use of the SIS System which recently received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The SIS System uses deep learning models to identify brain structures such as the subthalamic nuclei (STN) and globus pallidus internus/externus (GPi/GPe) commonly targeted for DBS procedures. The SIS System provides visualization of these structures for surgical planning and for location of the implanted DBS leads and lead contacts post-surgery. The STN and GPi/GPe are key targets for patients with Parkinson s disease. The advancement of DBS has provided a potentially profound solution to patients with Parkinson s disease; however, it is still significantly underutilized due to a lack of consistent results and challenges with the procedure.  Despite advances in imagi
