New Option for Calcium Scoring Software

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 04 Sep 2000
A new option for calcium scoring software is designed to better utilize image data from helical computed tomography (CT) scanners by matching cardiac CT images with electrocardiogram (EKG) signals and automatically identifying the images with the least motion, which can improve scoring accuracy.

The software, called VScore, with the new option is called VScore with EKG Gate. The new option has recently been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The growth of next-generation, multislice helical scanners has driven the growth of calcium scoring as a relatively fast and inexpensive method of screening patients for coronary artery disease, says Vital Images, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN, USA), the developer of VScore. VScore uses image data from electron beam CT scanners as well as image data from newer multislice helical scanners with coronary scanning capabilities. Both VScore and VScore with EKG Gate are integrated options of the 3-D visualization and analysis software, Vitrea 2, from Vital Images.

Given its improved ability to use helical CT scanner data from market share leader GE Medical Systems, VScore with EKG Gate further broadens the effective target market for the VScore product family, said Al Emola, president and CEO of Vital Images.
