Easy-to-use, protocol-driven workflow.
Smart Map for exquisite functional images.
All the information you need. Now..
Overview
GE’s Perfusion 4D Multi-Organ is a fast,
easy-to-use automated software for
analyzing CT Perfusion images related
to stroke and tumor angiogenesis. Its
simple user interface and fully
automated perfusion post-processing
make it easy for you to diagnose
quickly and accurately – and make
treatment decisions more confidently.
GE leverages its de-convolution
expertise, with its innovative delay
corrected algorithm. Perfusion 4D takes
perfusion assessment to the next level,
with a new Smart Map that creates
noise-reduced functional maps while
preserving functional detail.
Perfusion 4D is fast and simple to use, providing automatic tissue
assessment of perfusion changes.
The protocol-driven design leads the user step-by-step through
the process, reducing keystrokes and improving repeatability.
So you can get the information you want; quickly and reliably.
Improved IQ of functional maps
in presence of noise.
Streamlined workflow for tissue
classification.
Permits injection rates of
4cc/sec.
Features a variety of
productivity enhancements.
Incorporates the GE delay-
corrected de-convolution
method.

Indications for Use
CT Perfusion 4D is an image analysis
software package that allows the
user to produce dynamic image data
and to generate information with
regard to changes in image intensity
over time. It supports the analysis of
CT Perfusion images, obtained by
cine imaging (in the head and body)
after the intravenous injection of
contrast, in calculation of the various
perfusion-related parameters (i.e.
regional blood flow, regional blood
volume, mean transit time and
capillary permeability).
The results are displayed in a userfriendly graphic format as parametric
images. This software will aid in the
assessment of the extent and type of
perfusion, blood volume and capillary
permeability changes, which may be
related to stroke or tumor
angiogenesis and the treatment
thereof.
