Alpha Omega's DBS navigation solutions include a suite of software tools that provide real-time data and statistics from microelectrode recording (MER) and DBS-lead LFP signals. With these tools, it is easy to interpret brain signals and potential areas of therapeutic benefit.

In addition, neurosurgeons can make more informed clinical decisions with data to improve DBS implantation by integrating our tools into their workflow.

Each of Alpha Omegas' navigation tools assists in a different way:

AlphaProbe

First of its kind, multi-channel microelectrode. It has 4 directional microcontacts in addition to the standard microtip, bringing superior radial resolution of target physiology. Each of the AlphaProbe contacts provides unique physiology from nearby areas around the microelectrode tip. Can be used with the HaGuide software.
HaGuide Brain Map

The HaGuide algorithm is a semi-automatic detection algorithm trained to detect the borders of target structures. It robustly detects the Dorsolateral Oscillatory Region (DLOR) and Ventromedial non-oscillatory region (VMNR) boundaries of the STN and recommends the optimal location for stimulation.
LeadConfirm

LeadConfirm connects any DBS lead to one of our microelectrode recording systems to record Local Field Potentials (LFPs) intraoperatively. Monopolar and bipolar recordings can be recorded and used to ensure optimal lead placement. Also, growing evidence is supporting the use of these recordings for LFP based programming post-operatively.
