MILLENSYS CT Workstation , Vision Tools CTView

Why Vision Tools CTview ?

The CT Modality / PACS Workstation of choice

Vision Tools CTView is a very powerful and scalable acquisition and viewing station for Computed Tomography "CT" modalities for archiving, publishing on CD/DVD, processing and printing of CT images.

The CTview station can be connected to any type of CT machines whether it is dicom or non-dicom "using video grabbing or ACR/NEMA interface" as one of the important features of the CTview station is that it can convert the non-dicom CT into a dicom one providing many features of image archiving and processing.

Using the Visual filming tool the user can print a complete formatted film in just view seconds to any DICOM printer or even to an A4 / A3 windows paper printers.

The CTview station can be integrated with Vision Tools 3Dview to provide colored 3D volume reconstructions.

Archive Management

Archive/Manage studies aided by multiple search criteria and search filters to retrieve the selected studies asap.
Import studies from CDs or USB flash disks or other portable media.
Create DICOM CDs/DVDs with built in Viewer for any studies in the work list.
Multiple search criteria and search filters to retrieve the selected studies on the fly.
Scan Images from any attached film scanner and save it into current study.
Send studies to any other DICOM server or device.

Image Management

View studies in multi-monitor configuration with automatic/manual hanging-protocols for comparison.
Do windowing, zoom/pan, annotations, multiple measurements including density and true scale viewing.
Process scan-lines, pilot images, cross reference lines and triangulation for CT studies.

Advanced MPR/MIP for orthogonal, multi-oblique, curved, cross curved and spiral reconstruction of CT studies.
On the fly 2D and 3D Triangulation for CT studies.
Generate new slices from different angles Snap and save them to new series with just one button click.

Printing

Produce fancy looking print-outs on films or papers whether on DICOM printers or normal windows printers with the ability to design free film formats and templates, print true scale images, ... etc.
Visual Film Designing and operation (Visual Filming on Screen, What u see is what u print).
Film Template Designer (Free format).
Visual processing of images on film (e.g. window, zoom, pan, filters, measurements, etc.) .
Printing Films on both A4 paper printers and DICOM printers.

Video Grabbing Interface

For Non-DICOM CT, the best interface will be Video grabbing, by which, the CTview workstation aided by a remote keypad can acquire images from the CT modalities one-by-one.

ACR/NEMA Interface **

MILLENSYS Xlink gateway is a system that accepts ACR/NEMA 1.0 images [Raw Data] from any Toshiba X-Series CT Scanner [Xpeed, Xvision, Xpress, ....] and Toshiba MRI [FlexArt, VisArt, ExcelArt,...] transferred using the [Xlink] protocol and convert it to DICOM 3.0 format and insert the patient study in Vision Tools system directly in a transparent way. The solution is very innovative in that Toshiba X-Series machines only transfer images using ACR/NEMA 1.0 format, this format is no longer supported by newer DICOM 3.0 compatible stations.

Advantages

No need to use frame grabber cards to grab the images from the modalities [no raw data only 8 bit].
All images converted with our MiXlink gateway uses all the resolution of the raw data [12 bit, 16 bit]
The system accepts multi CT modalities connected to the same MiXlink station

** Interface available only for Toshiba Non-DICOM CT, MRI, NM Modalities

MPR / MIP **

Orthogonal MPR , multi-oblique MPR , Curved MPR , Cross curved MPR , Circular MPR
Thin/Thick Slab MIP “Minimum and Maximum Intensity Projection” with customized selection of processing region
MIP mode supports MinIP, MaxIP, Average.
Generate new series with customized slice thickness and no. of slices.
Save generated series to current study.
Interactive Triangulation.

Advanced 3D Visualization and analysis **

Advanced 3D reconstruction for CT, PET/CT studies can be applied ,with multiple features for volume reconstruction , vessel analysis, virtual colonography, calcium scoring and PET/CT fusion

Modality DICOM Worklist

Modality DICOM Worklist " MWL SCU "

Retreive DICOM modality worklist from any RIS / PACS server . This eliminates the need to re-insert patient information again before starting examination and acquisition . This add-on is for non-DICOM modalities in a RIS , PACS environment.

Built in advanced reporting tool to write reports , select from normal templates and update just the abnormalities.
Insert images in the report.
compatible with Microsoft word.
Voice dictation feature to dictate reports with voice to speed up the work.
Included Web based reporting tool with templates to ease reporting from anywhere and any device (e.g. tablets and mobiles).
