iSchemaView launches RAPID ANGIO neuroimaging software with Siemens

iSchemaView has launched neuroimaging software for angiography applications that integrates with Siemens Heathineers syngo DynaCT Multiphase system. The RAPID ANGIO software module allows for the direct evaluation of acute stroke patients in an angiography procedure room.

The syngo DynaCT Multiphase is a 3D image acqusition technique employing multiple rotations of a C-arm system to acquire a multi-phasic 3D representation of the brain and its perfusion. The RAPID platform automatically provides clear, easy-to-interpret CT perfusion maps that readily identify brain regions with reduced cerebral blood flow and blood volume as well as delayed contrast arrival, and is the only neuroimaging platform FDA cleared for a thrombectomy indication, according to iSchemaView. In addition to identifying irreversibly damaged brain tissue and salvageable areas, the CTP module includes HIR and CBV indices for the assessment of collateral blood flow and the rate of infarct growth, as well as a “golden hour” index for ultra-early patients. RAPID CTP helps physicians with patient triage and clinical decision making.

RAPID ANGIO runs on the RAPID Artificial Intelligence framework, which combines deep learning, machine learning and expert feature extraction. These provide sensitivity and specificity across stroke modules (ANGIO, CT perfusion, MR diffusion and perfusion, CTA and CT ASPECT scoring), with results are delivered by the RAPID Intelligence Services Platform via PACS, email, text, the RAPID APP or corporate partner workflow systems.
