A new global partnership aims to explore opportunities to further expand access to advanced pre-and post-operative imaging technologies for spine care.

Medtronic plc (Galway, Ireland) and Siemens Healthineers (Forchheim, Germany) have entered into a global partnership for comarketing the Siemens Multitom Rax imaging system and integrating the platform into the Medtronic AiBLE ecosystem for spine surgery. The companies also expect to collaborate across technology development, marketing, and commercial activities to advance clinical outcomes. The Multitom Rax offers a unique combination of imaging technologies for use across musculoskeletal conditions, including spinal patients. With its standing, weight-bearing imaging, cone-beam CT, and supine X-ray capabilities, the Multitom Rax supports Medtronic’s commitment to advancing the standard of care across the care continuum. The partnership is expected to be evolutionary for the AiBLE ecosystem which integrates connected care and predictive technology to advance surgery.

"Partnering with Siemens Healthineers advances our commitment to reduce variability and improve outcomes for spinal patients," said Skip Kiil, president of Medtronic Cranial & Spinal Technologies, which is part of the Medtronic Neuroscience Portfolio. "We are thrilled with the prospect of working with the industry leader in imaging and to leverage the depth of imaging experience and expertise, commercial footprint, and shared commitment to data science to advance our AiBLE strategy and shared pursuit of better patient outcomes."

"We are excited about the prospect of partnering with Medtronic to bring our solution to spine centers and empower spine surgeons and neurosurgeons to be more precise in the operating room," said Verena Schoen, Executive Vice President X-ray Products at Siemens Healthineers. "Multitom Rax delivers geometrically accurate images which allows precise measurements of the patient's vertebrae. Especially optimized for spine imaging, it not only contributes to faster diagnosis and treatment planning, but also to surgical execution and post-surgical control."
