Vital Images Upgrades Vitrea Enterprise Suite With New Clinical Capabilities

Reportedly, the newly added applications include cardiac multi-chamber analysis with adult and pediatric options that automate atrial and ventricular chamber analysis and leverage low dose CT scanning protocols.

Accoding to the Vital Images, clinical enhancements to cardiac structural analysis tools, Vessel Probe and Vessel Walk, will allow easy navigation through cardiovascular anatomy. A host of additional workflow features will help to review CT and MR scans, while a new edge-detecting contouring tool, single-click volume segmentation and improved report access streamline case reviews and improve communication between clinicians.

The upgraded Vitrea Enterprise Suite 1.3 also allows web-based access to MeVis Visia CT Lung, the clinically validated CAD system for chest CT. MeVis’ patented CAD technology platform integrates within Vital Images’ optimized reading workflow. In addition, Medicsight ColonCAD integration and a new myocardial perfusion application are available outside the US.

Erkan Akyuz, executive vice president product strategy and development at Vital Images, said: The new cardiac capabilities and the introduction of pediatric functionality take advantage of Vitrea Enterprise Suite’s robust, scalable, thin client architecture which serves as the foundation for these exciting features and enables innovative product development.
