Visualization and Analysis Software Provides New Clinical Functionality and Workflow Capabilities

Clinical enhancements to cardiac structural analysis tools, vessel probe and vessel walk, allow easy navigation through complex cardiovascular anatomy

Vital Images, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN, USA), a provider of advanced visualization and analysis software, announced the immediate availability of Vitrea Enterprise Suite 1.3 with new clinical capabilities including adult and pediatric cardiac applications, and an enriched set of workflow tools. Less than six months after releasing the company's 1.2 version, Vital Images builds upon Vitrea Enterprise Suite's effectiveness and ease of use via the web in a true thin client solution.

A range of additional workflow features make it easier 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 enhance communication between clinicians.

Vitrea Enterprise Suite 1.3 also now enables web-based access to MeVis Visia CT Lung, the first clinically validated computer-aided detection (CAD) system for chest CT. MeVis' patented CAD technology platform seamlessly integrates within Vital Images' optimized reading workflow. In addition, Medicsight ColonCAD integration and a new myocardial perfusion application are available outside the United States.

"Vitrea Enterprise Suite is designed to make complex, imaging-based clinical information simple so clinicians can make fast, effective decisions that improve patient lives. We are committed to continually providing software improvements that increase efficiency and improve patient diagnosis and outcomes,” said Erkan Akyuz, executive vice president product strategy and development, Vital Images. "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.”

TheVitrea Enterprise Suite (VES) is a package of advanced visualization tools, clinical applications, and data management systems that produce 3D and 4D images to show anatomic structures and physiologic function using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) image data, supplying information to promote more informed clinical decisions during analysis and treatment planning processes. Vitrea fX is designed specifically for the Toshiba Medical Systems' (Tokyo, Japan) AquilionONE CT scanner. The Vitrea line includes advanced visualization solutions and clinical applications for seamless integration into picture archiving and communications system (PACS) as well as tools that can be accessed anywhere, anytime.
