German ultrasound developer TomTec Imaging Systems has launched a new cardiac ultrasound quantification technology, called Research-Arena.
Research-Arena can perform a variety of advanced echocardiography quantification tasks using a single software platform. The system is designed to solve the problem that exists today with users conducting cardiac quantification with different applications and data formats, according to the Munich-based company.
Research-Arena already includes 4D echocardiography, strain, and contrast-echo tools. It can also be interfaced with cardiac quantification applications from third-party vendors -- Siemens Medical Solutions of Erlangen, Germany has integrated its Axius package with Research-Arena, for example.
Users can import 2D DICOM images and 3D studies in various formats into Research-Arena, according to the company. Measurement results can be transferred via DICOM structured report into customizable templates, providing for consistent reporting, and the export of measurement data allows subsequent statistical analysis.
