Time is Brain.
VEOcore supports rapid and standardized decision making.
Stroke is one of the major causes of death and severe disabilities.
Endovascular Therapy has revolutionized treatment of large-vessel-occlusions [MRCLEAN, ESCAPE, REVASCAT, SWIFTPRIME, EXTEND].
Based on current studies [AHA/ASA Guidelines], CT perfusion or MRI imaging is recommended to support decision-making [DAWN, DEFUSE-3] in this context.
VEOcore is a CE-labelled state-of-the-art software product developed for this purpose with these features:
- Fully automated processing within 3 min
- Fully automated segmentation of core and hypoperfusion/penumbra
- Calculation of volumes and mismatch according to DEFUSE-3-criteria
- Quality control of patient motion and contrast bolus injection
- Comprehensive presentation of results
- Compatible with all CT and MR vendors
- Seamless integration with all PACS-Systems and mRay (see below)
- Made in Germany
Combination with mRay.
VEOcore is developed and distributed with mbits GmbH,
the leading manufacturer of a PACS Solution for mobile devices.
With this combination, VEOcore is not just a software, but a complete solution for the stroke diagnosis setting:
- Mobile access to all results and raw images
- Automated forwarding
- Alert functionality in case of new emergencies
- Perfect for on-call duty
- Rapid communication between all stakeholders via integrated messenger
- Documentation of all events and timestamps for quality assurance
The LesionMap ist the key element of the report. All relevant information is presented at one glance.
- CBF und Tmax maps
- Non-contrast image as background.
- Infarction core(red) and Hypoperfusion (yellow) as colored overlay
- Scrollable through all slices
- Presentation of volumes in numbers and graphical bars
- Presentation of DEFUSE-3 criteria
- Warnings in case of patient movement or errors in bolus injection (see below)
Errors in contrast agent injection might occur, for example, a insufficient or late injection.
It is even more important to the detect such errors.
VEOcore contains intelligent algorithms for quality control.
Information on contrast bolus, arterial input function and patient movement is automatically analyzed.
Automated motion correction is also included.
- Temporal sampling
- Bolus timing and bolus peak-height for SNR estimation
- Arterial Input Function
- Patient movement and performance metrics of motion correction
Patient movement is a common problem in perfusion imaging. VEOcore includes an effective and robust motion correction algorithm. For quality control, the time series of one representative slice is presented in a scrollable fashion. With this, the initial movement and the performance of the correction can be assessed and considered in interpretation of the results.
