Presentation at Leading Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Meeting Highlights Comprehensive CMR Exam in Clinically Feasible Scan Time
(PRWEB) January 17, 2014 -- This abstract describes HeartVista’s intuitive imaging system that can perform a comprehensive CMR exam in 30 to 45 minutes. Using a real-time environment, interfacing with a GE scanner, real-time color flow, 2D perfusion, and 3D delayed-enhancement images were obtained using the HeartVista cardiac protocol. Comparisons of images obtained during arrhythmia using traditional breath-held SSFP CINE application and the HeartVista free-breathing SSFP application were also presented.
"We are pleased to present clinical experiences with our system at this important conference," stated Juan Santos, PhD, CEO of HeartVista, Inc. "We believe that a comprehensive and time-effective cardiac imaging system could improve the patient experience and facilitate a broader adoption of CMR."
