Kodak has received clearance from the FDA for several specialized functions that enable radiologists to diagnose images generated by cardiac CT exams. These specialized functions include: cardiac review and analysis; cardiac cage removal in 3-D imaging; and cardiac calcium scoring. These features will be integrated into the next version of KODAK CARESTREAM PACS software, which is scheduled for commercial availability in mid-2006. All of these features are part of Kodak’s native, real-time 3-D capabilities that also include MIP (maximum intensity projection), MinIP (minimum intensity projection), MPR (multiplanar reconstruction), volume rendering, tissue definition and vessel tracking functionality.
