uWS-MI is a software solution intended to be used for viewing, manipulation, communication, and storage of medical images. It supports interpretation and evaluation of examinations within healthcare institutions. It has the following additional indications:
The PET/CT Oncology application is intended to provide tools to display and analyze the follow-up PET/CT data, with which users can do image registration, lesion segmentation, and statistical analysis.
The PET/CT Dynamic Analysis application is intended to display the dynamic PET image data and its associated time-activity curve.
The PET/CT Brain Analysis (NeuroQ™) application is intended to analyze the brain PET scan, give quantitative results of the relative activity of 240 different brain regions, and make comparison of activity of normal brain regions in AC database.
The PET/CT Cardiac Analysis (ECTb™) application is intended to provide cardiac short axis reconstruction, browsing function. And it also performs perfusion analysis, activity analysis and cardiac function analysis of the cardiac short axis.
