GE Healthcare MR VesselIQ Xpress Brochure

Vessel analysis made flexible.

GE Healthcare

Overview

MR VesselIQ Xpress is an AW platform post
processing package that provides you with
additional tools to help in the analysis of MR
angiographic data. The software includes
display, measurement, and batch
filming/archive features to let you efficiently
analyze selected vessels for stenosis, directional
tortuosity and other anomalies.

Using radiation-free Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) as
a tool for vascular disease diagnosis may provide sound
information for making therapeutic decisions. Increased
sophistication of both sequence design and parallel acquisition
techniques have made contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance
Angiographic (MRA) a powerful, practical diagnostic tool.
Today, Magnetic Resonance Angiographic (MRA) is competitive
with other diagnostic techniques in light of the current emphasis
on dose management, cost containment, and outpatient
evaluation.
Without a complementary tool to efficiently assess Magnetic
Resonance Angiographic (MRA) information, reading studies and
arriving at accurate diagnoses can be very time-consuming.

 Provides the ability to interact

with MRA data sets to aid in the
angiographic detection and
diagnosis of vascular diseases.

 Track the centerline of any

vessel.

 Quantify abnormal anatomical

structures and assess their
evolution.

 Visualize and analyze

directional vessel tortuosity.

 Enables convenient pre- and

post-surgical assessment.

 Automatic vessel tracking

shortens waiting time for first
clinically relevant image.

 Provides quick 3D visualization,

and fast access to vessel cross
section and profile images.

Features

• Anatomy-based protocols enable

placement of intermediate points

when needed.

• Pre-defined label database

accurately labels vessels when
using Advanced Vessel Analysis

(AVA) based protocols.

• Automatically provides size,

stenosis, and length
measurements with two deposited

points.

• Single or double click Quick AVA

from any protocol within Volume
Viewer to analyze vessels in curved
reformat, lumen, or MPR views.

• Allows saving of current processing

state to include measurements, 3D
segmentation, and tracking.

• Features anatomy-based vessel

labeling.

• Quickly and easily switch from one

protocol to another from the
review step area.

• Customizable review step

accommodates particular
workflows.

• Allows retrieval of the saved state

so you can resume analysis from
where you left off.

Indications for Use

MR VesselIQ Xpress is intended to
provide an optimized non-invasive
application to facilitate vascular
anatomy and pathology analysis
from a set of DICOM 3.0 compliant 3D
contrast-enhanced Magnetic
Resonance Angiographic (MRA)
images.

MR VesselIQ Xpress is a post
processing application which can be
used in the analysis of Magnetic
Resonance Angiographic (MRA) data
for the purpose of vascular disease
assessment.

This software is designed to assist
radiologists and other clinicians in
the evaluation and assessment of
vascular anatomy and disease with
the capability to provide a set of tools
for visualizing directional tortuosity,
for sizing the vessel and for
measuring areas of anomalies within
a vessel.
