Siemens Healthcare’s Argus 4D VF for 4D visualization of cardiac function. This software enables the visualization and analysis of heart function disorders through the dynamic volume display of the beating heart. With this flexible tool, the cardiac function can be calculated from almost any combination of short-axis and long-axis images.

Siemens Healthcare’s Inline VF (ventricular function) is reportedly the first fully automatic software module for cardiac function analysis with MRI. This module is used to analyze cardiac image data immediately after acquisition and without user interference. Up to now, the image data had to first be transferred to a post-processing computer for manual processing.

GE Healthcare's MAC 1600’s resting ECG function can be easily configured to meet the needs of nearly every environment, according to GE. It features instant assessment of the ECG signal quality, works with GE’s Marquette 12SL ECG analysis program and can be connected to your ECG cardiology management system.
