5.1.4.3 DICOM
Software package providing following DICOM functionality:
•
Storage Service Class
•
Print Management Service Class
•
Structured Reporting Service Class
•
Storage Commit Service Class
•
Modality Performed Procedure Step Service Class
Sending of reports - Additionally all OB/Gyn measurements can be sent to a PC (without using structured
reporting). Receiving of these reports is supported by ViewPoint workstation “PIA” only. All other
workstations can be adapted individually.
5.1.4.4 VOCAL II - Virtual Organ Computer-aided Analysis
Diagnosis and therapy of cancer is one of the most important issues in medical care. The VOCAL II -
Imaging program allows completely new possibilities in cancer diagnosis, therapy planning and follow-up
therapy control.
VOCAL II offers additional functions:
•
Manual or Semi automatic Contour detection of structures (such as tumor lesion, cyst, prostate, etc.)
and subsequent volume calculation. The accuracy of the process can be visually controlled by the
examiner in multi-planar display.
•
Construction of a virtual shell around the contour of the lesion. The wall thickness of the shell can be
defined. The shell can be imagined as a layer of tissue around the lesion, where the tumor
vascularization takes place.
•
Automatic calculation of the vascularization within the shell by 3D color histogram by comparing the
number of color voxels to the number of grayscale voxels.
5.1.4.5 Advanced VCI
5.1.4.5.1 VCI Omni View - Volume Contrast Imaging (any plane)
More flexibility with Any Plane, VCI plane is freely selectable. Any shape can be drawn. Volumes from older
BT’s can be loaded and edited with VCI Omni View without any limitations.
•
Volumes can be edited in all other Visualization Modes.
•
Dual Format is now also possible in Render Mode and Sectional Planes Mode.
•
VCI slice thickness can be set to zero.
5.1.4.6 B-Flow
B-Flow is especially intuitive when viewing blood flow, for acute thrombosis, parenchymal flow and jets. It
helps to visualize complex hemodynamics and highlights moving blood in tissue. B-Flow is less angle
dependent, no velocity aliasing artifacts, displays a full field of view and provides better resolution when
compared with Color-Doppler Mode. It is therefore a more realistic (intuitive) representation of flow
information, allowing to view both high and low velocity flow at the same time.
5.1.4.7 Coded Contrast Imaging
Injected contrast agents re-emit incident acoustic energy at a harmonic frequency much more efficiently than
the surrounding tissue. Blood containing the contrast agent stands out brightly against a dark background of
normal tissue. Possible clinical uses are to detect and characterize tumors of the liver, kidney and pancreas
and to enhance flow signals in the determination of stenosis or thrombus.
