ADVANCED NEURO MRI

OPTIMIZED WORKFLOW

DynaSuite Neuro 3.0 from Invivo is a high performance, advanced
MR Neuro solution designed for optimal workflow and repeatable analysis for pediatrics and adults. Applications include: perfusion for tumor analysis and stroke, diffusion and diffusion tensor imaging with fiber tracking for stroke and surgical planning, and functional MRI (fMRI) for analysis and surgical planning. In addition, the NeuroQuant option provides volumetrics of key neuro structures to aid in the assessment of dementia, epilepsy and other neurological disorders.

DynaSuite Neuro 3.0 is compatible with major MRI systems. Data sets from the study are processed in the background and registered to a high resolution 3DT1 scan. In each review screen, images are synchronized for easy viewing and correlation. Any anatomical image can be used as an underlay with multiple overlays to easily visualize the fiber tracks, activation areas, vessels, color maps, and the results of other analyses. A region of interest (ROI) can be drawn in any review screen for analytical results of the selected display layer. The preconfigured review screens simplify analysis and enhance workflow.

SMART FUSION REVIEW

The Smart Fusion Review provides the standard multi-planer views plus a 3D reconstruction. The 3D display provides rotation, as well as cut planes, adjustable thresholds and transparency levels. The transparency of the skin layer and cortex in the 3D rendering can be adjusted independently as well for optimal visualization and surgical planning.

FMRI REVIEW

The fMRI review displays the paradigm time course graph for any selected activation as well as threshold settings for the paradigm for easy adjustment. The Diffusion Tensor review provides FA and ADC maps as well as the directional color map. All of these maps can be displayed as a layer in other hangings as well.

PERFUSION REVIEW

The Perfusion Review screens include a four-color map displaying relative Cerebral Blood Volume (rCBV), relative Cerebral Blood Flow (rCBF), Mean Transit Time (MTT), and relative Time To Peak (rTTP). A second Perfusion Review provides the dynamic  susceptibility curve on a voxel by voxel and ROI basis. Leakage correction is provided and a unique leakage color map is provided.

DynaSuite Neuro 3.0 is designed to streamline your workflow through automated processes. Its algorithms optimize settings that have been proven in the clinical environment. Comprehensive quality checks are available, however, to provide you with that extra measure of confidence. QC applications allow you to make a visual inspection of the results and make adjustments to positioning or thresholds.

DynaSuite Neuro 3.0 also provides you with the ability to create a “results image series” and a final report. The results images as well as the report can be sent to your PACS system and automatically combined with the original study data. The results images can also be exported to all the major surgical planning systems.

A BREAKTHROUGH APPLICATION

Invivo has partnered with CorTechs Labs to provide NeuroQuant quantitative analysis on its DynaSuite Neuro platform. Invivo is offering NeuroQuant as an option to compliment the advanced applications of DynaSuite Neuro which include perfusion, diffusion and functional MRI (fMRI). Data is automatically processed and displayed in predefined layouts which are customizable for each physician’s preference. A simplified user interface provides the neuroradiologist with the tools to analyze cases quickly and easily. Invivo offers extensive sales, service, and applications support to provide the comprehensive solution our customers expect.

KEY FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Fully Automated Segmentation of MRI exams of the whole brain and regional volumetric quantification of structures
• Automatic Correction for image artifacts including gradient nonlinearities and RF field inhomogeneities
• Atlas-Based image registration, anatomical segmentation, and volumetric quantification of the hippocampus, ventricles and other brain structures
• High Validity — Automated segmentation shown to be highly consistent with that performed by human expert neuroanatomist
• High Reliability — Making results ideal for longitudinal follow-up and tracking of disease
• Numerical Results are automatically compared to normative data to highlight atrophy greater than expected from normal aging
• Medial Temporal lobe volumes from NeuroQuant shown to be sensitive to MCI and early AD in multi-vendor, multi-site MRI data

NeuroQuant provides two reports from its volumetric analysis, an age related report and a general morphometry report as shown below. DynaSuite Neuro provides special hangings for viewing each report with multi-planer images of the user’s choice.
