Surgical Visualization and Guidance has you covered with the latest innovations in ultrasound-guided solutions for urology. Using patented ultrasound technology and sophisticated software algorithms, our real-time imaging platform enables urologists to guide urology procedures with confidence. Our complete portfolio supports urologists ranging from the clinic to the OR.
Prostate
Expert imaging for guiding prostate procedures
Surgical visualization and guidance is your expert ultrasound partner for prostate imaging, biopsies, and guiding treatment.
Prostate biopsy
Our comprehensive ultrasound-guided solutions for transperineal (TP) and transrectal (TR) prostate biopsies include AI-driven Prostate Volume Assist and the flexible bkFusion MRI-ultrasound fusion solution.
Prostate volume assist
Our first, urology-based, AI-driven technology for prostate measurements in ultrasound. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), Prostate Volume Assist rapidly processes and interprets your scans, producing results that you can then modify before moving on to the next step of the procedure. The technology is available for use on the bk3000/5000, bkActiv, and bkSpecto Active Imaging systems.
bkFusion MRI-ultrasound fusion prostate biopsy solution
bkFusion is our fast, flexible, and effective MRI-ultrasound fusion prostate biopsy solution. Avoid disruptions and follow a familiar prostate biopsy workflow with the bkFusion user interface. Choose from a full range of options for TP (freehand or stabilized) and TR (sidefire or endfire) biopsies with a solution designed to integrate easily wherever you practice, from the clinic to the OR.
Enhance your brachytherapy procedures with our advanced ultrasound guidance. Easily follow the needle path and visualize both LDR and HDR procedures. View transverse and sagittal planes on a single monitor and seamlessly integrate with planning software for precise and efficient treatment.
Brachytherapy is an effective, low-cost treatment for prostate cancer with low morbidity and high patient tolerability. Biplane transrectal ultrasound scanning is essential for accurate seed placement in the prostate gland, imaging in both transverse and sagittal planes. We lead in ultrasound-guided brachytherapy, offering precise seed placement with the Endocavity Biplane transducer. We provide both low-dose (LDR) and high-dose rate (HDR) options, integrating seamlessly with planning software like VariSeed for accurate treatment. LDR involves permanent seed implants, while HDR uses temporary implants for higher radiation doses. VariSeed software aids in planning and executing these procedures with features like easier contouring, volume measurements, and automatic calibration.

Hydrogel rectal spacer placement
When your target is small, excellent imaging is vital. Our advanced imaging technology allows you to visualize the critical perirectal space and needle path with precision. By using simultaneous imaging of transverse and sagittal planes, you can clearly see the separation of the rectal wall and prostate. Additionally, you can view injections in real-time, enhancing accuracy and confidence during procedures.
Kidney
Comprehensive kidney imaging solutions
Robotic-assisted surgery
The Rob12C4 robotic transducer is designed to enhance robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) procedures. Intraoperative ultrasound helps surgeons locate and visualize benign and malignant lesions, key arteries, and other anatomical structures quickly, in real-time, and with precision.
Ultrasound provides detailed information for kidney imaging, measurement, and biopsies. The bk3000 and bkSpecto systems help visualize fine anatomical details, see vascularization, measure blood flow, and locate kidney stones. The bkActiv, our flagship system, offers next-level imaging for prostate, renal, kidney, and bladder imaging, with sensitive Doppler for blood flow. Combined with sterilizable transducers, the bkActiv sets a new standard for surgical urology.
