Medicsight Features ColonCAD with Integrated Advanced Visualization Partners

Medicsight will be showing its ColonCAD product, integrated with a number of advanced visualization partners, including Vital Images, Viatronix, TeraRecon and Barco. The system reportedly offers a safe, rapid and minimally invasive means of imaging the entire colon. ColonCAD aims to release the full potential of CT colonography by improving the accuracy and productivity of detecting polyps in the colon.

By using an advanced CAD algorithm to review CT scan data and automatically highlight specific regions of interest, Medicsight ColonCAD reportedly provides a valuable tool for reviewing clinicians to support their search for abnormalities within the colon that may be the early precursors of potential life threatening disease.

$Cardiac CTA derived left atrium emptying fraction (LAEF) improves predictive performance of established clinical risk scores and may be used to assess TAVR patient risk during pre-procedure workup and post-procedural surveillance. These images show LAVmax (A and B), LAVmin (C and D), and LAEF using cardiac CTA. LAEF was calculated as (LAVmax-LAVmin)/LAVmax x 100. Given LAVmax of 109 mL and LAVmin of 80 mL, the LAEF was calculated to be 27%. Image courtesy of AJR.$
