Overview
CAAS QVA (Quantitative Vascular Analysis) offers fast and intuitive analysis of peripheral vessels such as the abdominal aorta and the carotid, renal, iliac and femoral arteries. CAAS QVA features single vessel analysis including calibration, vessel border detection and quantification of severity of stenosis.
Key Product Features:
- Various methods for calibration; catheter, sphere, manual or automatically calculated based on geometric information
- Vessel border detection based on novel algorithms.
- Easy contour edits
- Automatic and user defined reconstruction of the healthy vessel shape
- Quantification of lesion length and percentage stenosis.
Import / Export
CAAS accepts DICOM files with single and multi-frame, monoplane and biplane images.
The results can be exported as:
- DICOM secondary capture. The image with overlay and analysis report can be saved as DICOM SC. This results in a “what you see is what you get” report.
- DICOM structured report. The calculated results can be saved as DICOM SR. This can be used to generate reports based on the analysis results
- XML. The calculated results can be saved to XML. Pie Medical Imaging provides a dedicated toolkit for transformation of XML files to TXT files.
Key Benefits:
- Digitally saved reports
- Several report formats
- Customizable templates
PACS
CAAS is suitable for standalone use or for low effort integration with DICOM Viewers. The viewer can be either standalone or embedded in a PACS environment which is supplied by third parties.
Command line interface
For integration with DICOM Viewers, CAAS has a command line interface which is easy to use. Within the DICOM Viewer, code must be developed to call the analysis by issuing a command line. On request, Pie Medical Imaging will provide the information on the available command line strings and how to use them.
In the viewer, the user can select images to analyze with CAAS. These images will be sent to CAAS. Additional images can be added by the DICOM Viewer in a later stage.
Licensing
The software can be licensed for a single user on a specific workstation or for multiple concurrent users over the institution’s network.
