QUEST SPECTRUM^® 3
MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE

Fluorescence Image Guided Surgery

The Quest Spectrum^® is a fluorescent imaging system used in capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visual assessment of blood flow for the evaluation of tissue perfusion, and related tissue-transfer circulation in tissue and free flaps used during plastic, reconstructive and organ transplant surgeries.

The system uses direct visualization for open procedures, or via a laparoscope for minimally invasive procedures.

Two dedicated NIR channels enable capturing of colour images and up to two fluorescent images.
Usage for open and laparoscopic (MIS) procedures in one medical device.
Capturing High Definition (Full HD) images with great sensitivity due to dedicated sensors.
Recording real-time videos and stills/photos.
Stabilizing arm provides stabilization and positioning of the camera, without requiring assistance from other OR personnel

The QUEST SPECTRUM should be used according to its instructions for use.

Next level imaging

Medical imaging plays a critical role in cancer diagnosis and planning. It is essential to identify primary and microscopic tumours to enable complete removal of cancer.

Multispectral imaging is the next logical step in medical imaging, providing a new means of gathering and visualizing information. The Quest Spectrum^®includes a hyperspectral camera which visualizes cancer cells and tissue differences not visible to the human eye.

Applications

The Quest Spectrum^® can be used to provide real time visualization in operating rooms to assist surgeons in making critical decisions. The system can also be used in research and emerging applications. More information about these applications can be found in the the links below.

Testimonials

Karol Polom

Department of Surgical Oncology, Medical University of Gdansk, 80-211, Gdańsk, Poland

“Over the last 10 years I have used many different ICG devices and currently the Quest Spectrum^® is my product of choice. I use it for sentinel node identification in the breast, colon and for melanoma patients. I also have found clinical benefit in perfusion assessment of colorectal and esophageal anastomoses. Overall since I began using the Quest Spectrum^®, I have seen decreased complications for my patients along with significant savings in surgeon time and health care resources.”

Joost R. van der Vorst

Department of Vascular Surgery, Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands

“During the last few years, I started using the Quest Spectrum^® device for perfusion imaging in vascular surgery. In my opinion, the camera system is easy to use and supplies sharp and high quality NIR images. Furthermore, the device is very user friendly and has an intuitive way of operating it.”

Benjamin Weixler

Department; General, Visceral and Vascular Surgery, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany

“Of all NIR imaging systems I have tested so far, the Quest Spectrum^® offers the best image quality and it is very easy to handle intraoperatively. I therefore use the Quest Spectrum as the standard NIR system for intraoperative fluorescence angiography in colorectal cancer surgery and for the intraoperative visualization of liver metastasis.”

How we do it?

The Quest Spectrum^® Camera begins with the true colour image of the surgical site. This natural image may be overlaid with one or even two fluorescent markers in the field of vision. The combination of the natural image with the fluorescent markers makes it possible to visualize tumours, perfusion, lymph flow and other specific targets in real time during the operations.

This technology, core to the Quest products makes it possible to:

Combine the information from the three sensors into one image.
Easily choose one of all of three imaging approaches: natural image, fluorescence detection, or fluorescence overlaid onto natural imaging.
Move the camera without creating visual distortions or pixel deviations.
