Imaging software developer Syntermed of Atlanta has licensed nuclear cardiology software from Emory University, also of Atlanta.
The software, called Emory Reconstruction Toolbox, was developed by Emory medical scientists Ernest Garcia, Ph.D.; Ji Chen, Ph.D.; and colleagues. Syntermed, which will market the software as ReconTools, highlighted the software at last week's American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) meeting in Boston.
ReconTools runs on standalone PCs and improves processing functions on older workstations, according to the company. It provides reconstructed datasets that can be analyzed by many quantitative platforms and also works with Emory Cardiac Toolbox for myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging.
Syntermed also announced that GE Healthcare of Chalfont St. Giles, U.K., will be licensing its SyncTool, a new diagnostic tool for heart failure, as part of an Emory Cardiac Toolbox upgrade on GE's Xeleris 2 workstations. SyncTool helps predict which heart failure patients will benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy.
