ACC: Ziosoft highlights advanced viz integration

Ziosoft highlighted its PhyZiodynamic technology for integration with its Ziostation, a cardiac function analysis application, at the 59th annual American College of Cardiology (ACC) scientific session earlier this month in Atlanta.

According to the Redwood City, Calif.-based company, PhyZiodynamic applies algorithms during cardiac imaging procedures for analyses of internal organs, vessels, tumors and other anatomy's varied dimensions for 2D through 5D imaging.

Ziosoft said its PhyZiodynamic technology offers software that integrates with standard hardware, using algorithms to reduce noise and maintain image quality. PhyZiodynamic is compatible with DICOM imaging modalities—CT, MR, PET, SPECT and angiography—and can render and analyze data sets without GPU-rendering hardware.

The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
