一種新型分析系統(tǒng)能夠為放射科醫(yī)生和心血管科醫(yī)生提供強大的工具，用于對比增強計算機斷層掃描血管造影術(CTA) 的結構和功能分析。
這種新型CardiaMetrix軟件是由Barco公司(Kortrijk, Belgium)研制開發(fā)的，是一種合適的Barco三維(3D)系統(tǒng)、Voxar三維系統(tǒng)的應用模式，具有Voxar 3D的綜合圖像存檔和通信系統(tǒng)(PACS)功能。
該軟件綜合了幾種先進的臨床應用模塊，包括冠狀血管分析、鈣評分、4D心臟功能分析、心臟(左心室)功能分析。該軟件被設計用于心臟CT檢查的多相評估，該軟件能夠?qū)π呐K圖像檢查提供高質(zhì)量的2D、3D和4D讀片功能。而且，軟件還能夠自動計算心臟功能參數(shù)，對心臟解剖包括冠狀血管進行定量分析。

3D/4D Cardiac Analysis Software
A new analysis system provides radiologists and cardiologists with a powerful set of applications for structural and functional analysis of contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography (CTA) studies.
The new CardiaMetrix software, developed by Barco (Kortrijk, Belgium), is a suite of clinical application modules for Barco’s three-dimensional (3D) system, Voxar 3D, and shares Voxar 3D’s integrations with picture archiving communications systems (PACS).
The software incorporates several sophisticated clinical application modules, including coronary vessel analysis, calcium scoring, 4D cardiac analysis, and cardiac (left ventricular) functional analysis. Designed for fast assessment of multiphase cardiac CT studies, the software provides high-quality visualization of 2D, 3D, and 4D images of the heart. Furthermore, it was has tools for the automatic calculation of heart function parameters and quantitative analysis of cardiac anatomy, including the coronary vessels.
