GE Healthcare BodyView Brochure

An innovative way to analyze time
series data from body studies.

GE Healthcare

Overview

BodyView provides algorithms, tools,
and workflows for processing time
series data acquired in the body. It also
calculates parametric images from
contrast enhanced images based on
the temporal evolution of signal
intensity.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the body yields valuable
information that is useful in determining a diagnosis. But processing
time series data can complicate workflow and reduce productivity.

 Integrated with READY View for

access to its tools and
applications.

 Offers two advanced protocols:

MR Standard and Signal
Enhancement Ratio (SER).

 Guided workflows for time series

data processing.

 Custom workflows and

applications with adaptable
layouts, adjustable parameter
settings, and custom review steps.

 Create time curve graphs and

color parametric images.

 Automatic selection of the most

relevant protocols.

 Provides a graphical interface to

display time or functional curves.

Feature details

• Optimizes workflow with access to

READY View from - PACS
workstation, AW Workstation, or
PC.

• Provides a simple workflow

allowing for review and
manipulation of acquired images
(MIP, MPR, 3D) and processing &
fusion of functional data.

• Provides a fully customizable

workflow based on adaptable
layouts, adjustable parameter
settings, and custom review steps.

application work areas showing

source images, functional

images, and graph view.

• Signal Enhanced Ratio (SER) lets

you analyze T1 contrast changes.
Images provided include:

- Signal Enhanced Ratio (SER)

- Maximum slope of increase (MSI)

- Positive enhancement integral

System Requirements

• Volume Share 5 or above

• One or two display monitors

• BodyView requires READY View as

prerequisite.

Minimum hardware required:

• HP Z800: 12 GB RAM or above

• HP XW8600: 12 GB RAM or above

• HP XW8400: 12 GB RAM or above

Intended Use

BodyView is an image analysis
software that allows the user to view
and process MR images of the body.

Regulatory Compliance

This product complies with the
European CE Marking regulation for
Medical Devices Directive: Directive
93/42/EEC, dated 14 June 1993.

• Features a one-touch protocol to

select and process functional data.

• Easy-to-use slide bars enable real-

time parametric image calculation
and segmentation.

• Wizard helps define pre- and post-

enhancement image ranges or
wash-in and wash-out image
ranges. Settings are synchronized
with the graphical interface for
easy range definition.

• Automatically calculate color

parametric images based on
changes in image intensity over
time and after adjusting the noise
threshold.

• Segment functional maps by

clipping min. and max. values.

• Automatically change window

width and level, and adjust
parametric color for optimum
clinical case demonstration.

• MR Standard enables analysis of T1

or T2 contrast changes. Parametric
images generated include:

- Enhancement integral (EI)

- Time to peak (TTP)

- Mean time to enhance (MTE)

- Maximum slope of increase (MSI)

- Maximum slope of decrease

(MSD)
Automatically determine type of
enhancement (positive, i.e. T1
contrast, or negative, i.e. T2*
contrast) based on source image
pulse sequence name.
