GE Healthcare CardEP Brochure
Streamlined post-processing for
enhanced electrophysiology procedures.

CT cardiac exams provide critical information to practitioners of
cardiac therapy. Precise information pertaining to the left atrium’s
complex anatomy, the pulmonary veins, the coronary sinus, or the
cardiac veins has a major impact on the efficacy of subsequent
cardiac therapy: It can speed procedures and facilitate treatment.
But analyzing and reporting the wealth of information CT cardiac
studies provides can be time consuming. A program that
automates many routine functions and gives you tools to easily
quantify and qualify many aspects of cardiac function would
streamline your workflow and give you greater diagnostic
confidence.
Overview
CardEP is integrated post processing
image analysis software for the
application of cardiovascular and
electrophysiology imaging on the AW
Workstation. With it, you can process
display, reformat, and analyze 2D or 3D
cardiac ST images for qualitative or
quantitative assessment of heart
anatomy and pulmonary veins from
single or multiple cardiac phase image
data sets.
Lets you visualize the
anatomical layout of the left
atrium and pulmonary vessels.
Lets you visualize the origins of
the pulmonary vessels.
Facilitates heart segmentation.
Helps you visualize and
quantify cardiac venous
pathways.
Offers you a variety of 2D, 3D,
or reformatted protocols with
which to perform image
analysis.

Features
CardEP offers a variety of features
that give you image analysis
flexibility:
• Volume render 3D heart and
chamber views
• Obtain segmented 3D views of the
left atrium and pulmonary veins
• View hollow 3D VR heart
• Measure the pulmonary veins and
left atrial appendage with
predefined protocols
• Render and display 2D/3D views of
the left chambers in single or
multiple phases of the cardiac
cycle with one-touch automatic
extraction
• Reformat standard axial CT images
of single or multiple cardiac phases
into short or long axis and save the
image series for further analysis.
• Automatically track, extract, and
display pulmonary veins with the
pulmonary vessel analysis tool
• Generate pulmonary vein
measurements
• Automatically track, extract, and
display coronary sinus and cardiac
veins with the coronary sinus
analysis tool
• Perform one-touch standard 2D
reformation and 3D volume
rendering, including hollow view,
of cardiac anatomy with optimized
AW Volume Viewer and 3D
AW Workstation 4.1 or higher with
either of these recommended
options:
• Codonics NP 1660M printer
• Kodak 3600 DMI printer
• Color landscape monitor
Indications for Use
CardEP is a post-processing software
option for the AW Workstation
Platform. The product can be used for
the analysis of CT angiography
images for the assessment of the
heart to include the atria, pulmonary
veins and coronary sinus. It provides
quantitative analysis tools which
include a number of display,
measurement and model export
capabilities.
Regulatory Compliance
This product complies with the
European CE marking regulation
following Medical Devices Directive:
Directive 93/42/EEC, dated 14 June
1993.
rendering tools
• Register images from different
cardiac phases into a unique data
set that you can save as a 3D
object or use for further analysis
• Use predefined navigator views of
the pulmonary veins to get a flythrough perspective of the vessels.
Image Requirements
CardEP accepts standard cardiac
gated CT image sets acquired on
qualified GE MDCT or EBT scanners.
Images must meet the same image
requirements as those for the basic
Volume Viewer application.
System Requirements
CardEP can be installed on an AW
Workstation with AW Basic Display
and Volume Viewer resident.
