GE Healthcare

Overview

Cardiac IQ Function Xpress post­processing software helps you
evaluate cardiac function and diagnose
cardiovascular disease with a high
degree of confidence. Providing
accurate and reproducible
quantification of left and right
ventricular volumes, ejection fractions,
and myocardial mass, Cardiac IQ
Function Xpress is optimized to assess
cardiac function using multiphase,
multi-slice cardiac CT images.
The CardIQ Function Xpress option
provides an easy-to-use and time­effective way for you to perform
cardiovascular functional analysis.

Cardiac disease is one of the leading health concerns world wide.
Successful treatment of the many conditions that cause and
perpetuate heart disease requires that physicians approach specific

cardiac problems with as much information as today’s technology
can provide. To supply your referring physicians with this information
you need software that gives you insight into cardiac anatomy and

function supported by quantifiable data.

• Automatically pre-processes

and loads exams.

• Automatically detects all

chambers in all phases.

• Automatically performs

ejection fraction and chamber
volume analysis with 91%
reliability on LV and RV
automatic ejection fraction.

• Provides single click myocardial

analysis with bull’s eye images.

• Performs simultaneous case

review in real time.

• Lets you load multiphase data

with no load time.

• Lets you review multiple cases

in real time.

• Lets you generate reports with

imported analytics.

Features

• Apply the CardIQ Function Xpress

application to standard axial CT
images acquired on a GE scanner
using the cardiac CT SnapShot
imaging acquisition option.

• Automatically selects each heart

chamber for individual volume
analysis.

• Performs behind-the-scene

function data process for real time
ejection fraction review, volume
analysis, and myocardial analysis.

• Enables you to extract, render, and

display 3D volumetric models of
the endocardium for ejection
fraction calculation.

• Automatic detection of the

endocardial and epicardial walls
for wall motion, wall thickness, wall
thickening and myocardial mass
analysis. Lets you perform volume
analysis of all chambers.

• You can automatically calculate

left atrium volume while excluding
the pulmonary vein.

• With a single click you can activate

visual wall motion with short axis
images in basal, mid, and distal
orientations along with a two­chamber long axis view.

• You can perform myocardial

analysis with wall motion, wall
thickness, and mass calculations.

• The application’s flexible reporting

tool lets you include graphical
representations.

• Display on screen a table of key

functional parameters for instant
visualization.

Regulatory Compliance

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

Intended Use

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

Image Requirements

CardIQ Function Xpress accepts
standard CT image sets acquired on
qualified GE CT scanners using the
appropriate cardiac imaging
software. These images must meet
the same image requirements as
those for the basic Volume Share 2
application.

System Requirements



AW Volume Share Workstation with
Volume Share 2 running 4 8400
hardware or higher (running 64 bit).



Auto launch and preprocessing are
available only on 8400
workstations with 16 GB RAM.



2 monitor configuration.



Color landscape monitor.
