Neurology Clinical Applications

CT Brain Perfusion 4D

CT Brain Perfusion 4D* aids with assessing the whole brain and evaluating perfusion deficits by displaying 4D-DSA (digital subtraction angiography) views of blood flow in the vessels and 3D perfusion maps. It supports the physician in visualizing the apparent blood perfusion in brain tissue affected by acute stroke. Automated tools help to efficiently visualize anatomy and pathology.

Neurology Clinical Applications

MR Clinical Suite

Vitrea™ Advanced Visualization software is a multi-modality system providing comprehensive applications in a variety of IT environments.

The MR Clinical Suite, powered by Olea Medical, includes Diffusion, Perfusion and streamlined application workfl ows across many different organs. This package provides access to features which enhance the clinical routine.

Kinetics*

The Kinetics application measures the type of contrast enhancement through a kinetic curves analysis and is predictive of malignancy for breast and prostate pathologies.

Mono Follow-up*

The Mono Follow-up application is embedded with 3D registration between different dates, different modalities or different series within the same study. It provides an optimum interface to efficiently track and assess different time points.

MR Acute Care Stroke*

Whatever the degree of emergency, these applications provide radiologists with direct access to the stroke report in no time. These applications include dynamic temporal information of blood flow through unique dynamic thresholding perfusion maps to visually assess hypoperfused areas and use the Bayesian method for halving the contrast-dose for brain perfusion.

Brain Tumor Streamlined*

The Brain Tumor application workflow offers automated step-by-step processing, including quantitative multi-parametric analysis. This application also includes an optimized leakage correction algorithm to improve the accuracy of dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced perfusion MR imaging.

Head and Neck Streamlined*

The Head and Neck Streamlined application workflow provides the automatic diffusion, permeability maps computation, including quantitative data to efficiently assess the patient’s response to treatment.

Breast Streamlined*

The Breast Streamlined application workflow is an efficient tool for breast lesion detection, characterization and staging. This workflow computes and displays conventional, diffusion and kinetics maps (qualitative) and offers complete multi-parametric analysis, including MPR and 3D visualization, volume segmentation, multiple series fusion, kinetics and curve analysis. The Breast applications also include the latest Breast detected report based on BI-RADS® ATLAS; useful to improve communication between radiologists, patients and referring physicians. The standard reporting tool ensures acceptable risk assessment and enhanced follow-up of suspicious findings.

Female Pelvis*

The Female Pelvis application workflow analyzes morphological changes on pelvic female organs (ovaries, uterus, pelvic floor) under pathological conditions. Accurate metrics are a few clicks away: automatic diffusion computation, providing qualitative parameters for quick visual inspection.

Prostate Streamlined*

Olea Sphere™ dedicated applications include advanced diffusion and qualitative perfusion parameters, and offer efficient simultaneous multiparametric analysis of all available sequences, with prostate specific display. Specific kinetics thresholds and quantitative data based on robust mathematical models are provided instantaneously. Prostate applications include PI-RADS® 2 report to further improve the detection, characterization and staging of prostate cancers. This version standardizes terminology and content of reports, and clarifies the level of suspicion or risk of clinically significant tumors is also available.

MR Basic Stroke

The Basic Stroke application is integrated into Vitrea Advanced Visualization and provides radiologists with direct access to expert stroke reports in any degree of emergency.

• Provides access to the full set of post-processing options, parameters, maps and metrics from anywhere at anytime
• Fully automated workflow saves time in patients presenting with a stroke

MR Neuro

The Neuro application is integrated into Vitrea Advanced Visualization and provides dedicated brain tumor and expanded stroke protocols which provide quick assessment of brain disorders.

• Computes optimized parametric maps (rBV, rBF, TTP, MTT, TMAX, tMIP) from raw perfusion series
• Uses an automated and customizable workflow
• Includes fully automated step-by-step processing for patients suffering from brain tumors, including quantitative and qualitative multiparametric analysis
• Provides rBV correction of contrast leakage and K2 map creation
• Offers one specific application:
  • Brain Tumor DSC DCE Expanded Application

MR Neuro ASL

The Neuro Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) application is integrated into Vitrea Advanced Visualization and provides non-invasive imaging to efficiently measure perfusion.

• ASL quantitative measurement of cerebral blood flow without administration of contrast material and without radiation is a key component in pediatric imaging
• Holds an advantage over contrast agent-based methods for patients with contraindication for contrast agent injections
• Allows loading repeated label and control images and performs 2D motion correction for realignment of repeated label and control pairs
• Uses spatial smoothing of images to increase signal-to-noise ratio
• Includes ASL blood flow quantification with Mo
