GE Healthcare CardIQ Xpress Brochure

Anatomical, functional and perfusion
information that supports quick and
diagnosis.

GE Healthcare

Overview

CardIQ Xpress 2.0 Reveal is an easy to
use, efficient way to display, reformat,
and analyze 2D or 3D cardiac CT
images for qualitative or quantitative
assessment of heart anatomy and
coronary arteries from a single or
multiple cardiac phase image data set.
When used with SnapShot Freeze
images created on select GE CT
Systems, CardIQ Xpress 2.0 Reveal can
automatically process and display
motion-blur reduced images of
coronary anatomy.

Multi-slice detector CT technology has become a go-to modality for
reliable, non-invasive, cardiovascular imaging. It’s easy to use,
accessible, and delivers diagnostically valuable data. Key to

maximizing the benefits that this technology offers is using a post­processing and analysis tool tailored specifically for cardiac imaging.

 Non-invasive alternative to

help in the diagnosis of
coronary artery disease.

 Simplifies workflow.
 Extract, render, and display

2D/3D coronary vasculature
tree images with one-click
automatic vessel tracking.

 Automated display of motion

blur-reduced SnapShot Freeze
processed images.

 One-click functional cardiac

evaluation.

 Measure coronary artery

vessels to include stenosis,
density of stenosis, and length
of stenotic area.

Features

 Fully integrated post-processing

package for assessing cardiac
morphology, coronary artery
viability, relative perfusion, bypass
graft patency, post-intervention
follow up, and functional
assessment.

 Lets you automatically render data

for streamlined reading, including:

‐ 3D rendered heart
‐ Angiographic view
‐ Tree VR
‐ Ejection fraction

 Features color enhanced perfusion

defect pattern recognition allowing
you to detect ischemic heart
disease.

 Allows you to automatically

reformat standard axial CT images
of single or multiple cardiac phases
in short, long, and two chamber
long axis views for easy review.



With on click, lets you perform cine
functional cardiac evaluations to
view multiphase beating heart
images.



PlaqID enhances the Hounsfield
Unit values of plaque components
and provides a customizable color
map.



One-touch angiographic view lets
you display the coronary vessel
tree and myocardium by
automatically removing the heart
chambers to provide a cath
comparative view.



Transparency model lets you
visualize the coronary arteries in
relation to the heart chambers,
with the ability to fade the
chambers out.

 Provides 4D aortic and mitral valve

views with one click.

 You can automatically extract the

left ventricle with selection of ES
and ED for ejection fraction and
volume measurements.

aids in diagnosing of cardiovascular
disease to include, coronary artery
disease, functional parameters of the
heart, heart structures and follow-up
for stent placement, bypasses and
plaque imaging. CardlQ Xpress 2.0
offers unique tools such as automatic
tracking, which will pre-process the
CT data into multiple viewing ports to
allow for an expedited read time
improving workflow. With CardlQ
Xpress 2.0 the user can color code
the myocardial tissue to show
hypo/hyper-dense areas in the
myocardial tissue of the heart. With
the IVUS-like view the user can -color
code the HU units of the plaque to
better visualize the difference
between calcified and non-calcified
plaque in the wall of the vessel and
the lumen to determine the amount
of atherosclerosis. The user can see
the different valve planes along with
a variety of new layouts to align the
heart. The IVUS-like view is created
by applying GE's Volume Rendering
on a cross-section perpendicular to
the detected centerline. This view
merely displays a cross section as in
IVUS imaging and color codes like
IVUS images. No new or additional
diagnostic information is added.

CardIQ Xpress 2.0 is for use on the
AW Workstation, CT Scanner, PAC or
Centricity stations, which can be
used in the analysis of 2D or 3D CT
angiography images/data derived
from DICOM 3.0 CT

Regulatory Compliance

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

 Oblique reformat provides views in

the standard cath angles for easy
analysis of the coronary vessels.

 You can load multi-phase images,

review the data, and decide which
phase or phases will be reviewed
for further processing by dropping
the non-essential phases.

 Allows you to register images from

different cardiac phases into a
unique combined data set, which
can be saved as a 3D object or
used for further analysis.

System Requirements

The CardIQ Xpress™ 2.0 Reveal
option can be installed on GE’s AW

workstation with Volume Share 5
software installed.

Can be installed on a:

 8400 workstation w/16GB ram
 8600 workstation w/16GB of ram
 Z800 24GB of ram
 AW server – for the 12K server,

only one instance of CardIQ can
be ran at a time

2-color landscape monitor
configuration when software is on
the AW.

Motion blurring correction requires
the use of Volume Share 6, and
appropriate images produced by a
CT using the optional SnapShot
Freeze.

Intended Use

CardIQ Xpress 2.0 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. CardlQ Xpress

2.0 is a CT, non-invasive, image
analysis software package, which
