Lausanne and Geneva to install CAScination technology

For the new project “Image guided soft tissue interventions. Clinical investigation in liver surgery and interventional radiology” supported by the Swiss Commission for Technological Innovation (CTI) the University Hospitals of Geneva and Lausanne have each acquired Cascination's CAS-ONE liver navigation system.

Multi-center studies on the topic of image-guided open liver surgery are now initiated at the Departments of Visceral Surgery in Geneva (Prof. Philippe Morel), Lausanne (Prof. Nicolas Demartines), and Bern (Prof. Daniel Candinas) as well as in the Departments of Interventional Radiology (Profs. Alban Denys and Joachim Kettenbach) and Nuclear Medicine (Prof. John Prior and Dr. Bernd Klaeser). The project has a budget of CHF 820’000.

Cascination, a start-up based in Berne, has developed CAS-ONE, The GPS for liver surgery. CAS-One supports liver surgeons through powerful visualization and tool guidance in hepatic procedures such as Tumor resection, Ablation treatments, or Transplantation. Cascination was founded in 2009 and awarded with the CTI Start-up Label in 2010.
