About Rhovica Neuroimaging

Rhovica Neuroimagings core technology allows optimizing the emergency tratment of patients at risk of raised intra-cranial pressure. Saving time, improving neurological outcomes, and reducing costs.

Placement of EVD's is one of the most basic and often performed neurosurgical procedures and often can be a life-saving procedure. Freehand bedside EVD placement is usually performed solely by anatomical landmarks and carries the risk of misplacement.
