Apollo Medical Imaging Technology

Australian software developer Apollo Medical Imaging Technology will showcase version 3.2 of its MIStar visualization software.

MIStar offers capabilities such as a multivolume fusion module that allows coregistration of two image datasets from different modalities, even if they were acquired in different imaging planes. Registered volumes can be visualized in MPR/MIP formats or with surface- and volume-rendered technology.

Advanced perfusion and permeability modules for MIStar provide processing of dynamic CT, MR, and nuclear medicine images acquired during and after injection of a bolus of contrast medium. The techniques produce quantitative functional maps using deconvolution algorithms based on published and validated methods, and they include technologies to reduce noise and motion artifacts in images, according to Apollo. The package offers models for liver (including dual-supply studies), kidney, brain, body, and other organ areas.

MIStar has received FDA 510(k) clearance and can be integrated into existing PACS software as a plug-in or used as a standalone workstation with a DICOM network interface.
