Enabling radiologists to diagnose images generated by noninvasive cardiac scanning methods, several specialized functions — cardiac review and analysis, cardiac cage removal in 3-D imaging and cardiac calcium scoring — are being integrated into the next version of KODAK CARESTREAM PACS Software.

A new suite of cardiovascular workflow tools, ComPACSVersion 9 provides unequalled support of legacy ultrasound systems. ComPACSV9 automatically imports image and report data from MODs into a fully DICOM SR-compliant database.
The system has a powerful DICOM viewer with dynamically interpolated zoom, multiple format displays and one-touch side-by-side analysis of multiple exams.

A software fusion application that enables clinicians to perform multimodality image fusion in a single application, CardIQ brings together anatomical and physiological data from CT, PET and nuclear medicine images on the AW Workstation and allows their analysis in a single application.

Designed with one 8-inch-by-8-inch floor-mounted cardiac C-arm and one 12-inch-by-16-inch ceiling-mounted C-arm, the InfinixDP-i/FD2 enables physicians to obtain the images needed to perform both detailed peripheral vascular work and coronary studies.

The i-STAT BNP cartridge is a point of care diagnostic test used to assess the level of BNP (brain naturietic peptide) in patients in emergency rooms, heart failure clinics and observation units, laboratories and other critical care settings.
BNP is a protein secreted into the bloodstream by heart tissue during congestive heart failure (CHF), a disease in which the heart loses its ability to adequately pump blood throughout the body and which results in a build-up of fluid pressure inside the heart.

SiteSeekir Trans-Blood Vision, a patented, forward-looking technology, is now being used by physicians at the Cleveland Clinic, one of the first hospitals in the nation to use the technology developed by CardioOptics to assist in complex cardiac procedures.

The Spiroflex VG Catheter provides over twice the clot removing power compared to the 4F XMI and Spiroflex catheters. It is also the first AngioJet catheter of its size to be offered in a Rapid Exchange platform.

The Relay 250-mm thoracic stent-graft is commercially available in Europe in both straight and taper configurations.
The company received CE approval for Relay in April 2005 for thoracic aortic pathologies including aneurysms, dissections, penetrating ulcers and intramural hematomas. To date, approximately 250 patients have been successfully treated worldwide.

The Frontrunner XP CTO and Outback LTD Re-Entry Catheters facilitate guide wire placement in endovascular procedures to treat peripheral chronic total occlusions (CTOs). The devices were developed and initially marketed by Lumend Inc. (Redwood City, CA), which was acquired by Cordis in September.

Offering a combination of perfusion and function information in a single nuclear stress test, Lantheus Medical Imaging's Cardiolite kit for the preparation of technetium Tc99m sestamibi for injection enables physicians to assess patient risk and optimize patient management.
