MPR and 3D the most efficient way to read MDCT - Barco

The problem
• MDCT pro d u ces too many images
- Film reading now imposs i b l e
- Increased spatial resolution re q u i res MPR rev i ew
• Sagittal and coronal MPR produced on a scanner
console
- Te c h n o l o g i sts time re d u ces scanner thro u g h p u t
- MPRs further increase image number
- MPRs in the wrong plane re q u i re re p eat s
• Co nve ntional 2D PACS is only a partial solution
- Only presents axial images or console pro d u ced MPR
- Radiologist is unable to generate views in real-time
- D i f f i cult to cro ss- refe re n ce spatial location bet ween
MPR series
• D i ff i cult to co m m u n i c ate findings
- Demonst rating pathology may re q u i re production
of large summary series or a montage view
- Axial images not easily understood by surgeons and
other referring phy s i c i a n s
- Text report and a few axial images cannot co nvey
co m p l ex anatomical re l ationships

The solution
• VOX A R 3 D enabled PACS
- Combined 2D and 3D functionality
- Technologists pre-processing available off the
scanner co n s o l e
- Radiologist retains the ability to change
te c h n o l o g i sts pre- p ro cessing using LI V E IM AG E S
- Rea l -time cine in any plane
( axial, sagittal, co ronal, oblique, cu r ve d )
- On-t h e-fly MPR and 3D image generat i o n
- MPR and 3D re d u ce the number of images
n e cessary to co nvey findings to referring phy s i c i a n s
