GE Healthcare Integrated Registration - Manual (Page 2)

Features
• Combines images from different
modalities for enhanced volume
definition.
• Fuses functional and anatomical
images.
• Provides access to Volume Viewer 2
functions, including Multiplanar
Reformat, slab and oblique
reformations, triple oblique easy
definition, volume rendering, 3D
display, distance and Region of
Interest (ROI) measurements,
3
layout management,
segmentations, film, and save.
• Ability to save registered data as
new DICOM series or as a
registered DICOM object (does not
include SPECT).
• Loads exams and series from CT,
MR, PET, SPECT or XA together for
registration in the same session.
• Offers a choice of four automatic
registration methods.
• Draw and save contours as RTSS
DICOM objects.
• Allows you to customize screen
layouts to suit your review needs.
• Allows you to define one or more
contours around relevant
anatomy.
• Ability to automatically bind
several MR axial series
corresponding to sequential axial
locations into a single series. This
may be displayed as sagittal or
coronal reformats.
• Provides comparison of a current
exam with previous exams to
evaluate disease progression or
and AW Server 2
Indications for Use
Integrated Registration provides easy
comparison of three-dimensional (3D)
images from Computed Tomography
(CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI), Emission Tomography (PET or
SPECT) and X-Ray Angiography
images (XA). To help physicians in
diagnostic radiology or therapy
planning, Integrated Registration
allows 3D registration between
volumetric acquisitions that may
come from the same acquisition
modality or from different acquisition
modalities.
Regulatory Compliance
This product complies with the
European CE Marking regulation for
Medical Devices Directive: Directive
93/42/EEC, dated 14 June 1993.
1 For XA modality series, Integrated
Registration currently supports only 3D X-
Ray Angiography images (stored as CT
Image Storage DICOM objects) acquired with
GE Innova equipment and
reconstructed with the Innova3DXR
application.
2 Requires Volume Viewer key
3 The ROI measurement works only on rigid
registered images, not on non-rigid
registered images.
4 Requires DICOM RT capability on RT
planning system
treatment efficacy.
• Define volume of interest in one
model for automatic report to
another model for subsequent use
in Radiation Therapy (RT) planning.
4
• Save registered results as a new
reformatted series.
• Provide referring physicians with
clearer, more detailed reports.
Image Requirements
Acquisition position and plane, slices
resolution, number, thickness, and
spacing may be different in the
acquisition of the two exams to be
registered.
Each image set should meet basic
requirements, however:
• Field of view, matrix size, and
display center should be the same
for all images inside one series
• Orientation should be the same for
all images in the series
• Series should include more than
one image
• Tilted acquisitions are not
supported by mutual information
based automatic algorithms; they
can be registered with manual,
landmark, or automatic “matching
boundaries” registration methods.
• Datasets used as reference and
moving should have some
matching anatomical location.
System Requirements

running on xw8400, xw8600 or z800
