Alliance to Advance Multi-Modality Imaging with PET

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 09 Oct 2003
An agreement to address software fusion requirements as a complement to conventional hardware in a combined positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner has been announced by the University Hospital Essen (Germany). More...
The hospital will use software developed by Mirada Solutions Limited (Oxford, UK; www.mirada-solutions.com). The agreement is part of Mirada's global program of clinical oncology research.

Mirada's fusion software offers various automated tools to combine medical images from different scanning modalities, such as magnetic resonance (MR), PET, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and CT. The software can use different image data sets acquired at different times or data sets generated on imaging equipment from different manufacturers. Mirada is a developer of fusion software and analytical tools for medical imaging workstations.

University Hospital Essen is a leading academic and clinical center in combined PET/CT imaging. "Combined PET/CT imaging allows us to acquire jointly metabolic and anatomical information on patients as part of a single exam,” explained Thomas Beyer, Ph.D., who helped develop the concept of PET/CT in the USA. "While it addresses many challenges of multi-modality imaging, special viewing software is needed to fuse a series of PET/CT studies from the same patient over time.”
