GE Healthcare Autobone and VesselIQ Xpress Brochure

Fast routine analyses and simplified
studies of routine CT angiography
exams.

GE Healthcare

While various clinical tools are used to diagnose peripheral
vascular disease (PVD), Computed Tomography Angiography
(CTA) has become the modality of choice for gathering

information for therapy planning. One of CTA’s advantages is that

it shows both vascular and non-vascular anatomy along with 3D
information for more comprehensive assessment. Additionally,
CTA is useful for patients with limited or no peripheral access and
those with stents, for whom MRA assessment is not an option.
Thoroughly analyzing the data provided by these studies involves
a considerable investment of time. You need a tool to expedite
the assessment process

Overview

Autobone and VesselIQ provide you
with easily accessible, user-friendly
tools with which to analyze 3D
angiographic data including stenosis
analysis, thrombus, pre and post stent
planning procedures, and directional
vessel tortuosity visualization. The
display, measurement, and batch
filming/archiving features this
application provides will help you
maintain a more streamlined and
productive workflow.

 Zero-click bone segmentation

for head, neck, and other
anatomy.

 Zero-click tracking of most

vascular studies where thoracic
and abdominal aorta is
displayed down to the iliac
arteries.

 Comprehensive, one-click

(Quick AVA) stenosis
measurement and plaque
analysis of any vasculature,
including the coronary arteries.

 Semi-automatic thrombus

segmentation of aortic or other

major vessel aneurysms.

Features

• Lets you track centerline of any

vessel and perform multiple
measurements.

• Offers you supplemental

information for:

- The angiographic detection and

diagnosis of vessel diseases

- Quantification of abnormal

anatomical structures and their
evolution.

- Directional vessel tortuosity and

colored plaque visualization.

- Surgical planning.

- Stent deployment planning

- Pre- and post-surgical

assessment.

- Multiple studies comparison.

• Quick bone structure removal for

efficient review of vasculature.

• Displays first clinically relevant

image via automatic vessel
tracking with rapid 3D visualization.

• Auto Aorta fully automates aorta

and illiac tracking

• Lets you change protocols and

review steps without leaving the
current sate.

• PlaqID lets you colorize calcified

and non-calcified plaque based on
CT numbers.

• One- or two-click Quick AVA from

any Volume Viewer protocol lets
you analyze all vessels, including
coronary arteries, in curved
reformat, lumen, or MPR view.

• Lets you save current processing

state to include measurements, 3D
views, segmentation, and tracking.

software is.
designed to support the physician in
assessment of stenosis analysis,
pre/post stent planning and
directional vessel tortuosity
visualization.

VesselIQ Xpress automatic
visualization tools provide the users
with the capabilities to facilitate
segmentation of bony structures for
accurate identification of the vessels.
Once vessels are visualized, tools are
available for sizing the vessel,
analyzing calcified and non-calcified
plaque to determine the densities of
plaque within a coronary artery,
measure area's of abnormalities
within a vessel.

AutoBone Xpress is an optional
software extension of the Volume
Viewer application for AW
Workstation system. It is dedicated to
the automatic segmentation of
bones from head, neck, thorax,
abdomen and extremity CT
angiography data.

Indications for Use

VesselIQ Xpress is intended to
provide an optimized non-invasive
application to analyze vascular
anatomy and pathology and aid in
determining treatment paths from a
set of Computed Tomography (CT)
Angiographic images.

VesselIQ Xpress is a post processing
application option for the AW
Workstation, CT Scanner or PACS
stations, which It can be used in the
analysis of 2D and 3D CT
Angiographic images/data derived
from DICOM 3.0 compliant CT scans
for the purpose of cardiovascular and
vascular disease assessment. This
