Overview
CAAS QVA for Research (Quantitative Vascular Analysis) offers fast and intuitive analysis of peripheral vessels. When compared to its clinical counterpart QVA, the research package features additional functionality, dedicated for use in research studies.
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.
- Evaluation of restenosis and edge effects on Drug Eluting Stents
- Evaluation of overlap for Drug Eluting Balloons
- Independent evaluation of multiple segments within one vessel part.

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

The report pages can be accessed at any time during the analysis. All graphs and tables matching your analysis will be displayed.
Dedicated segment models
Single vessel results can be displayed in the drug eluting stent model. It is also possible to define your own segments.
Key Results:
- Minimum luminal diameter (MLD)
- Reference diameter
- % Diameter stenosis
- Length of the stenotic segment
- Area at MLD
- % Area stenosis at MLD
- Reference area
- Volume stenotic segment
- Plaque area, volume and symmetry
