Overview

A simple and easy-to-use OsiriX/Horos plug-in for analysing Cardiac Diffusion MR (CDMR) images.

CMRDiffTools has been developed focused on addressing specific issues of cardiac images in order to meet the requirements of the scientific community in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR).

Benefits

  • Fully compatible with OsiriX/Horos medical image viewers.
  • Straightforward deployment on clinical infrastructures (PACS system).
  • Easy-to-use interface for simplifying and streamlining processing and analysis tasks.

Features

  • Support of SIEMENS and Philips data.
  • Computational methods for image de-noising and registration.
  • Computation and visualisation of diffusion anisotropy indices and specific maps in cardiac analysis such as helix and transverse angle.
  • Additional Color Look Up Tables (CLUT) for specific maps such as Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and Helix Angle (HA).
