Quantifying, qualifying, summarizing, and reporting cardiac functions observed during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies are crucial components for devising effective cardiac therapy protocols. Evaluating the results of MR exams and including as much relevant information as possible in your reports can also significantly impact your workflow. A software program that enables analysis of key cardiac parameters from one station would help make your reports to referring physicians more comprehensive and streamline your department’s workflow. By enabling efficient analysis of key cardiac parameters, CardiacVX1 from GE Healthcare allows for more comprehensive reports and a streamlined workflow. CardiacVX enables you to import MR images into your AW Workstation where you can use a range of reproducible tools for reviewing & reporting. CardiacVX provides you with the capability to access multiple studies and multi-slice, multi-phase images, which can be displayed in cine mode to facilitate visualization. The program’s report input interface includes measurement tools that let you quickly and reliably complete clinical reports of an imaging exam. Highlights Cardiac function analysis enables measurement and analysis of cardiac parameters like stroke volume and ejection fraction. Flow analysis Time Course analysis StarMap analysis
Cardiac Function Analysis enables you to measure and calculate common cardiac parameters including stroke volume and ejection fraction. Flow analysis offers a semi-automated edge detection algorithm that detects vessel boundaries through all phases of a phase contrast series. The myocardium evaluation tool provides you with a semi-automated way to segment areas of high signal intensity visualized on delayed enhancement images. StarMap analysis lets you analyze cardiac multi-echo fast gradient echo data sets. TimeCourse analysis gives you a semi-quantitative signal intensity analysis tool to assist in evaluating arrival times, peak times, slope values, and signal intensity ratios in endocardial and epicardial layers. Patent foramen ovale analysis helps you detect and assess the Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). Guided workflows are intuitive, easy to learn, and simple to use. Compile a database of normal reference values keyed to age group, sex, or BMI/BSA. A flexible, customizable report template system lets you generate reports specific to the needs of referring physicians. Customizable macros let you write a patient-specific report with point-and-click simplicity. Multi-vendor support lets you analyze and evaluate function and myocardium images from multiple MR systems. You can also compare images from different series, studies, and patients.
