To Be Deleted
We were first in the nation to use a new type of CT scanner to guide complex spinal surgery for these conditions and more.
Conditions we can treat with Airo TruCT
The use of advanced intraoperative imaging helps enable surgeons to perform the least invasive surgical correction possible for the patient, which can result in less postoperative pain and a quicker recovery time when compared to more conventional treatments.
Degenerative disc disease
Herniated disc
Sciatica
Scoliosis (pediatric and adult)
Spinal deformities (e.g., kyphosis, etc.)
Spinal stenosis
Spinal trauma
Spinal tumors
Spondylolisthesis
A new approach to treating spinal conditions
Benefits of mobile imaging
- Provides intuitive visual access to difficult-to-reach spinal canal
- Airo TruCT can give surgeons real time pre- and post-operative knowledge in the operating room
Advanced imaging for back surgery
During your spine procedure, we place a tiny thorascopic camera into the chest through a small incision to visualize the spine on a video monitor, and then using Stryker’s Airo TruCT Mobile Imaging system to obtain a CT scan. Using these images with Stryker’s navigation software, as well as direct thorascopic camera visualization, spinal screws can be placed into the spine using real-time CT guided navigation. This allows the screws to be safely and accurately placed into the spine.
Benefits of minimally invasive spinal surgery
- Potential for less blood loss, less chance of infection and shorter recovery times
- Potential for shorter hospitalizations than traditional open surgery

Patient Story
Overcoming complex scoliosis
Diagnosed with scoliosis at 12, Grace R. endured a painful journey to healing with four surgeries in Virginia, leading to leg numbness and kyphosis. Seeking relief, she found Dr. Jason Lowenstein at Atlantic Health.
