Arlington, Texas (June 15, 2001) - BrainLAB develops and distributes software and integrated solutions worldwide that enable minimally invasive therapies in medicine. In partnership with leading physicians, more than 400 BrainLAB employees work every day toward one goal: the creation and enhancement of clinical solutions that improve quality of life for patients everywhere.
The company's greatest accomplishment is the development of VectorVision®, a "global positioning system" for the human body that brings unprecedented accuracy to Image Guided Surgery. As a pilot uses radar, a surgeon uses VectorVision® to determine the target volume of the operation with high precision. At the same time, sensitive structures such as blood vessels and nerves, which the surgeon wants to avoid on the way to the anatomical target, can be visualized.
Brain LAB was founded in 1989 when Stefan Vilsmeier began working on the first mouse-controlled and menu-driven software for stereotactic planning. Today, the company continues to drive the market through innovation, support and design.
Based in Arlington, Texas, American Mensa is for anyone who scores in the top 2 percent of the general population on a standardized intelligence test.
