3D/4D ULTRASOUND IMAGE PROCESSING AND VISUALIZATION – APPROACHING REALITY

GOPICE® 2.0The second generation of ContextVision’s unique 3D/4D image enhancement software provides the OEM with the best Ultrasound image quality available today. By utilizing information from adja-cent planes in the 3D stack, the GOPiCE 2.0 software processes and delivers a clearer image than ever seen before. The improved image quality of GOPiCE 2.0 is apparent in both 3D/4D-rendered images and MPR views, enabling a clear image with better tissue visualization, increased throughput and higher diagnostic value. The improved image quality allows non-specialized Ultrasound users better performance.

REALICE™With REALiCE, ultrasound manufacturers can deliver more real-istic and reliable images to clinicians. REALiCE provides a unique way of visualizing 3D/4D Ultrasound images that improves image quality both in 3D/4D-rendered images and in MPR views, enabling a clearer image of the fetus. The unique combination of GOPiCE volume enhancement, scan conversion and rendering software results in high quality images comparable to photos.

Three-dimensional Ultrasound applications produce much more information than

traditional 2D technology. The increased information in 3D images/volumes is efficiently

used by ContextVision’s processing and visualization real-time products.

07

WORLD CLASS QUALITY MRI IMAGING – FOR MORE ACCURATE DIAGNOSES, INSTANTLY

GOPVIEW® MRI2PLUS

GOPView MRI2Plus significantly reduces noise while simultaneous-ly enhancing the image’s fine structures and edges, allowing the medical professional to separate true image information from false data. By increasing contrast, soft tissues – for example gray and white matter – can be separated more easily. Ultimately, this gives the medical professional improved diagnostic value.

With GOPView MRI2Plus, the signal to noise ratio is increased, allow-ing excellent image quality in low, mid- and high field MRI systems. It is superior in processing images with variable intensities across the image and can be used with images from all MRI scanners.

GOPView MRI2Plus can be used in general or specialized exams. An optional tuning interface for parameter control is available.

ContextVision’s imaging enhancement solution for MRI features

market leading technology, optimized for seamless integration with

OEM software.

FEATURES Simultaneous noise reduction and edge

enhancement

Works on low, mid- and high field units

Extensive platform support including tuning tool

Uses advanced inhomogeneity compensation

BENEFITS Achieves superior soft

tissue differentiation

A COMPLETE IMAGE PROCESSING SOFTWARE FOR DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY

GOPVIEW® MAMMO3Mammography is a one of the most demanding modalities, where high image quality and performance are prerequisites for the clini-cian’s end results. GOPView Mammo3 is an image processing soft-ware for screening and diagnostic images. It offers the necessary features to increase confidence for radiologists in their daily work. One important feature is the high global and local contrast adaptive to breast density, which provides a transparent parenchyma and a pronounced difference between different tissues.

GOPView Mammo3 presents well-balanced and harmonic images, which helps the clinicians to read a high volume of mammograms day after day without suffering from eye fatigue.

The high flexibility of the product allows adjustments to match re-gional and user preferences. GOPView Mammo3 is adaptable for all mammography systems.

ContextVision’s image enhancement software for Mammography adds

the necessary performance to allow radiologists satisfactory diagnoses in both

screening and diagnostic images.

FEATURES High global and local contrast

adaptive to breast density

Intelligent noise suppression

Enhancement of fine structures

Optimized image display for all patients

Adaptable for all mammography systems

Customized to user preferences

BENEFITS High transparency of parenchyma

Superior visibility of subtle lesions and micro-calcifications independent of breast type

REAL TIME ADAPTIVE IMAGE ENHANCEMENT – FOR LOWER DOSES IN INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY

Image quality and processing speed are critical aspects during interventional procedures.

ContextVision’s real time image enhancement products have been proven to surpass standard

requirements and better visualize important structures, catheter tips and stents.

GOPVIEW® IRVULTRA GOPView® iRVUltra has unprecedented success in reducing noise while enhancing fine structures and edges. This ultimately allows for significantly improved image quality while maintaining patient dose, or, alternatively, preserved image quality using a lower patient dose. Initial studies have shown that image quality can be main-tained while reducing dose levels by up to 50 %. GOPView iRVUltra can be tuned for individual preferences by adjusting specific image processing parameters.

Since the GOPView iRVUltra has an adaptive temporal filtering with advanced motion compensation, there is no temporal blurring or other artifact creation caused by multi-frame filtering.

Rapid development within processor technology offers new oppor-tunities to accelerate image processing in order to meet customer demands.

FEATURES Real-time image enhancement

(30 fps at 1KB2 × 16 bits)

Temporal filter with advanced motion compensation

Optimized reduction of noise

BENEFITS Great vessel and structure conspicuity

Improved characterization and reader confidence

Image processing without temporal blurring or artifacts

Reduced dose to patients and staff

11

SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY IN COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY – WITH LOWER PATIENT DOSE

GOPView® CT has an unprecedented success in reducing noise while

sharpening fine structures. Preserving HU values allows for drastically improved

image quality at maintained patient exposure.

Compared to images acquired with standard doses, low-dose images enhanced by GOPView CT show equal image quality. The noise level is preserved, and for certain applications – such as chest examinations – even finer structures can be depicted.

Numerous published studies confirm that enhancement with GOP-View CT can compensate for significant dose reduction, which is an enormous step toward fulfilling the ALARA principle. Dose reduction translates directly into reduced risk from radiation exposure for the patients, as well as reduced wear on expensive X-Ray tubes.

GOPView CT comes with independent parallel intensity window processing. This patented technology enables for example strong enhancement of fine structures in the lung or bone window while at the same time effectively reducing noise in the soft tissue window. It can be adjusted to different anatomies and image acquisition param eters, e.g. dose, reconstruction algorithm and slice thickness. Using specific image processing parameter files, it is also easily adapted to individual preferences.

FEATURES Enables significant dose reduction

Independent parallel intensity window processing with preserved HU values

Anatomy specific settings for e.g. abdomen, lung, brain

Adjustable to various acquisition parameters, e.g. dose, reconstruction algorithm, slice thickness

BENEFITS Reduced patient dose

Effective noise suppression

Depiction of fine structures

Delineation of different tissue types
