MedImage integrates brain PET diagnosis software NeuroQ

MedImage Inc., creator of DELTAmanager and Syntermed, recently announced an agreement whereby the company will offer Syntermed Inc.'s NeuroQ as an integrated option for MedView for nuclear medicine and PET/CT image review. NeuroQ is an automated software platform that generates quantified analysis of regional cerebral activity.

NeuroQ aids the interpretation of PET brain scans by performing rapid automated quantification of more than 240 standardized regions of interest (sROIs) and compares these regional activity levels within an individual scan to regional activity values derived from a normals data base. Comparisons are made through quantitative and statistical assessments.
