Detailed quantification of cardiac function
Summary
Includes a viewer and functional analysis.
The MR Cardiac Viewer allows side-by-side review of single, multiple or all available cardiac series in a default or in a user-defined viewing protocols. It automatically links multiple series in respect to DICOM geometry, zoom/pan, time and position link for qualitative assessment and analysis in AHA 17 segment templates of the MRC data types. It supports basic measurements and screen captures.
Functional analysis allows volumetric analysis of both the left- and right ventricles based on short axis or axial acquisition. The application calculates cardiac functional parameters such as volumetric parameters, wall motion, wall thickness and thickening.
Benefits
- The application provides semi-automatic and manual tools for segmentation.
- Results are calculated based on Simpson method. The user has an option to apply automatic papillary muscles extraction if desired.
- Results tables can be configured by the user, and values indexed by Body Surface Area (BSA).
- RV segmentation workflow is simplified to be harmonized with LV, and enhance visibility of the phase-prorogation capability.
- Left ventricle volumetric analysis based on single or multi-slice, multi-phase or real-time dynamic 2 Chambers and/or 4 Chambers long axis image acquisitions is also supported based on the Area Length Ejection Fraction (ALEF) single or bi-planar method.
- All results and screen captures can be collected, saved and exported by the user in a Findings Navigator functionality.
