MRI-PlaqueView 
MRI-PlaqueView turns vessel wall MRI into assessments of atherosclerotic plaque burden, measurements of plaque composition, and 3D Visualizations of plaque distribution.
MRI-PlaqueView guides the user through a sequence of intuitive and highly optimized analysis steps. Within minutes, all vessel boundaries and internal plaque components are identified, multiple contrast weightings are aligned, and measurements of thickness, area, and distance are recorded.
MRI-PlaqueView provides sophisticated 3D visualization tools that portray the previously unseen plaque components in context with traditional MIP views of MRA data. Surface renderings of the vessel lumen and outer wall boundary are also available
A configurable report format allows the Radiologist to summarize the key findings in a convenient and compelling single page output that can be provided to vascular surgeons, cardiologists, or primary care physicians for added information relevant to patient management.
MRI-PlaqueView History MRI-PlaqueView is the commercial outgrowth of the CASCADE imaging package developed at the University of Washington Vascular Imaging Lab. These patented image analysis algorithms have been featured in more than 50 original publications related to plaque characterization by MRI. This work includes extensive validation of the accuracy, reproducibility and sensitivity of the core algorithms. [CASCADE web site]. |
