Arterys adds enhancements to its cardiac image analysis software

Cardio AIMR, intelligent, cloud-based medical imaging analysis software from Arterys, has been enhanced with more than 80 additional features to automate analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images. The enhancements improve clinical workflow, streamlining, and speeding analysis with automated and easily editable ventricular volume measurements, according to the San Francisco-based company.

Enhancements include quantitative delayed enhancement, providing deep learning-based segmentation of myocardium and identification of reference points. Users can obtain scar quantification and extent enhancement on a 17-segment AHA plot. Semi-quantitative perfusion provides deep learning-based segmentation of myocardium, identification of reference points and co-registration. Users can create a blood pool ROI to obtain signal intensity graphs and semi-quantitative values, such as upslope and time to peak, on a 17-segment AHA plot. Arterys advises that the perfusion and delayed enhancement features are for research use only within the United States due to the contrast agents used with them.
