ECIO Stockholm Highlights for Ablation Fanatics

ECIO 2023 Is upon us! Back by popular demand are the highlights for those of us who eat, drink, and sleep percutaneous tumor ablation. Below are the "cant-miss" sessions that you will find the most interesting

Graphic-ECIO

Of course, perhaps the most exciting thing (completely unbiased) at ECIO is the launch of CAS-One IR version 4.1 - driven by AI. This exciting new software release is designed to help you visualize patient anatomy, and add confidence to your treatments.

With automatic organ segmentation including critical structures, an AI-driven AblaSure quantitative margin assessment, and interactive planning mode, we have never been more confident in saying "more patients, better results".

Come by our booth, or check our our official page our official page

Now, for the scientific congress highlights - of notable mention are also 6 posters featuring CAS-One IR
