Loop-X® Mobile Imaging Robot combines high-quality 2D and 3D intraoperative imaging with
robotic functionality and a completely wireless Remote Control Panel, enabling patient-tailored
imaging, effective dose saving, flexible positioning and automated workflows.

New Delhi, September 23rd, 2026: Brainlab and Amrita Hospital, Faridabad have inked a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to set up North India’s first Centre of Excellence for Brain
& Spine powered by Brainlab’s Loop-X® Mobile Imaging Robot, strengthening access to cuttingedge technology-enabled neurosurgical and spine care in the region.

The dedicated centre will bring together Amrita Hospital’s clinical expertise in neurology and
Brainlab’s intraoperative imaging and surgical navigation technologies. It will be used for complex
operations on the brain and spine, as well as a platform for clinical training, technology
demonstrations and the sharing of knowledge between surgeons and health care professionals.
The centre will be based on Loop-X®, a robotic mobile imaging system providing 2D and 3D
cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images inside the operating room. This gives surgical
teams detailed images during surgery that can be integrated with navigation technology to guide
surgery and confirm results before the patient leaves the operating room.

Intraoperative imaging allows the surgeon to visualise the anatomy, verify the placement of any
implants and acquire new images as necessary. This is particularly important in complex brain and
spine surgery where accuracy is paramount. Loop-X® also offers patient-specific imaging, by
concentrating the scan on the area to be treated, helping to optimise radiation exposure.
Aseem Malhotra, Managing Director, Brainlab India, said, “Aseem Malhotra, Managing
Director, Brainlab India, said, “The signing of this MoU with Amrita Hospital, Faridabad marks
an important step in bringing advanced technology closer to clinical practice in neuro and spine
care.

With Loop-X®, our mobile imaging robot, we are bringing intraoperative 2D and 3D imaging
together with robotic functionality to support connected surgical workflows. Loop-X® enables
patient-tailored imaging, seamless intraoperative registration and accuracy verification, helping
clinicians integrate imaging and navigation directly into the operating room.
Through this partnership, we look forward to supporting clinicians with advanced imaging and
navigation technologies and contributing to the continued development of technology-enabled
neuro and spine care in North India.

“The opening of this dedicated centre is proof of our pledge to continuously enhancing the
capabilities available to patients requiring complex neuro and spine care,” said Dr. Sanjeev Singh,
Medical Director, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad. “With advanced intraoperative imaging and
navigation, we can help our clinical teams by providing better visibility during surgery and
allowing for verification in the operating room itself.” “Our partnership with Brainlab will further
augment the technology-enabled ecosystem at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad and help us take the
delivery of specialised care for patients across the region to the next level.”

Loop-X® combines robotic positioning with 2D and 3D intra-operative imaging, providing a
scalable field of view that can be adapted to clinical needs. Its large gantry opening allows for
different patient positions and its robotic design allows imaging to be repeated during a procedure
when clinically required.
The technology can supply surgical teams with current anatomical information, without the
interruption of traditional imaging outside the OR that disrupts the operative workflow, by
combining intraoperative images with Brainlab’s navigation ecosystem.
As a part of the Centre of Excellence, Brainlab and Amrita Hospital seek to establish a dedicated
hub for advanced brain and spine surgery, clinical learning and technology-enabled surgical
innovation, while increasing access to specialised care in neuro and spine for patients across North
India.
