ASCENSION 
In 2012, Ascension was acquired by Roper Industries Inc., becoming an affiliate company of NDI (Northern Digital Inc.) – a global leading innovator and manufacturer of advanced optical and electromagnetic 3D measurement technology systems.

​

Ascension Technology Corporation was a world-class manufacturer of electromagnetic tracking systems for the medical OEM and medical simulation markets. Ascension got its start in the military training market, developing head tracking technology for tactical aircraft simulators and really found its niche in the medical imaging and interventional market, where the company’s technological strengths of 3D accuracy and integration flexibility are leveraged to maximum effect.

 

Ascension was best known for its 3D Guidance® product suite, which included the driveBAY™ and trakSTAR™ electromagnetic (EM) tracking systems. These innovative EM solutions worked in conjunction with reusable Ascension sensors. Ascension solutions are integrated into a wide range of image-guided intervention and therapy systems for use in biopsy needle guidance, image fusion, oncology, obstetrics, and neurosurgery applications.
