FDA green-lights Infinitt cardiac display, analysis package

Infinitt's Xelis Cardiac, a 2D, 3D and 4D display and analysis tool for coronary CT angiography and left ventricle analysis, has received clearance from the FDA.

Xelis Cardiac can be used as an integrated system with Infinitt's web-based PACS or as a stand-alone system, allowing any third-party PACS user to query, view and analyze DICOM studies.

The package includes three diagnostic modules: vessel analysis, functional ventricle analysis and calcium scoring.

Infinitt, the Phillipsburg, N.J.-based developer of image and information management systems for healthcare, added that the Xelis Calcium Scoring system is currently under FDA review.
