Rivanna Medical touted data from 3 trials today showing that its Accuro automatic spinal navigation system boosts the accuracy of epidural and spinal anesthesia placement compared to traditional techniques, even for residents-in-training.
Accuro is a pocket-sized ultrasound system that automatically detects spinal midline, epidural depth and trajectory.

Study participants were not experienced in reading ultrasounds and received a 10-minute training with the Accuro device.
