SmartCT
3D visualization and measurement solution
The SmartCT solution enriches our outstanding 3D interventional tools with clear guidance, designed to remove barriers to acquiring 3D images in the interventional lab. It simplifies 3D acquisition to empower all clinical users to easily perform 3D imaging, regardless of their experience[1]. Once acquired, 3D images are automatically displayed within seconds on the touch screen module in the corresponding rendering mode. On the same touch screen, the user can easily control and interact with advanced 3D visualizations and measurement tools.
Features
Easily perform two-point measurements on screen
Quickly measure distance on a 2D or 3D image with the two-point measurement on the touch screen. This can help you quickly check the trajectory to a target vessel, measure distances for stent deployment, measure the size of anatomy or identify a discrepancy to speed up planning of the optimal treatment angle and aid navigation.
SmartCT Roadmap – real-time visualization to support fast and accurate catheter navigation
SmartCT Roadmap provides live 3D image overlay guidance that can be segmented to emphasize the targeted vessel and lesions, supporting fast catheterization. The SmartCT Roadmap overlays a 3D reconstruction of the vessel tree, vessel segments, or annotations with live fluoro images. You can adapt the transparency and contrast of the 3D image to enhance visibility of details.
SmartCT Segmentation to quickly define any structure of interest
The semi-automatic lesion segmentation tool allows you to easily define any structure of interest, measure its volume. With a cut function you can remove anatomy to improve visualization of regions of interest.
