According to the company, the software, MIRA-ECHO, enables cardiac echocardiography (ECHO) images to be viewed, measured and interpreted in clinical trials and is the latest addition to Icon Medical Imaging’s proprietary MIRA (Medical Imaging Review and Analysis) platform.
MIRA-ECHO is a digital DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) image viewer and analysis software module that is integrated with an eCRF (electronic case report form). It displays links from the traced images back to the measured moving heart image, and also to the numerical measurements captured in the eCRF. MIRA-ECHO also enables measurement and assessment of the full complement of ECHO parameters, the company said.
Jonathan Goldman, chief medical officer at Icon Medical Imaging, said: “MIRA-ECHO satisfies an important unmet need in clinical trials that involve ECHO. For the first time we have a solution that allows us to adjust and fine-tune traced cardiac measurements stored in the eCRF against a moving source image, while maintaining regulatory compliance and an audit trail.
“Combining MIRA-ECHO to the existing MIRA-QCA module for quantitative coronary angiography allows us to offer clients unparalleled capabilities for cardiovascular assessments.”
