Clinical Software

IschemiaViz™

IschemiaViz™ is a definitive software that aids diagnosis of cardiovascular disease from dynamic CT perfusion clinical scans of the human heart. It is intended to be used by cardiologists in conjunction with static CT angiography images. It detects blood flow deficits for faster diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.

The Challenge

Methods for non-invasively assessing coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, are often inadequate. The challenge here is the reliable visualization of the blood vessel lumen and quantification of blood flow. A combination of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and cardiac CT perfusion (CCTP) is needed to mitigate this challenge.

An Innovative Solution

IschemiaViz™ aids diagnosis of cardiovascular disease from dynamic cardiac CT perfusion (CCTP) scans. The software is scanner agnostic and works with most commercial CT scanners. It employs calibration-free automatic beam-hardening correction, thereby eliminating artifacts which could be misconstrued as blood flow deficits. The noise-resistant blood flow estimation leads to lower X-ray dose making it more patient-friendly.

AI-Powered Software

IschemiaViz™ uses DICOM input images to produce insightful visualized cardiac analytics. It is based on a patented AI-driven workflow with advanced, fast, noise-resistant algorithms. IschemiaViz™ lets the cardiologist browse the cardiac CT data in three-plane orthogonal view as well as short-axis reformatted view. A 4D (3D plus time) volume rendering shows animates the beating heart.

Transforming Patient Care

Visualization of flow maps overlaid on the original CT data, and AHA sector wise flow maps help the cardiologist analyze flow deficits in specific arterial territories. A detailed report containing patient information, time attenuation curves, polar flow maps, sector wise flow maps and table of parameters such as stress/rest MBF, and MPR, helps the physician’s documentation and archival needs.
