Coronary Analysis - Features

Cardiovascular diseases, including heart diseases has the highest mortality rate globally. Heart disease is caused mainly by contraction due to arteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries which provide oxygen and nutrition to the heart, resulting in a worsened blood flow.

Most heart diseases can be prevented by adjust one’s lifestyle such as diet and physical activity.

With the cardiac CT, information on the shape of the coronary arteries and plaques can be obtained in a scan as short as 10 seconds. In addition, it is a less invasive examination compared to cardiac catheter examination.

Extraction and labeling of coronary arteries can be automatically processed. The cardiac area is also automatically extracted to for an Angiographic View.

The CPR (natural view/straight view) along with the labeled center line and the orthogonal plane can be displayed for each of the 3 major artery. The center line can be modified as well. It is also easy to switch between the display of “RCA”, “LAD” and “LCX”.

3D images can be stored with angles customized for each institution. The CPR and orthogonal plane images can be stored with preferable range of angles and intervals. A storage format can be selected from color DICOM and BMP.
