GE Healthcare SmartScore 4.0 - Manual

Advanced imaging software
that detects, quantifies and
scores cardiac calcium plaque
burden. Instantly.
GE Healthcare
Overview
SmartScore 4.0 is designed to identify
the presence of regional and global
coronary artery calcification from a CT
scan, then measure and score the
results. Scores can be calculated using
a standard Agatston/Janowitz (AJ)
method. When correlated with a
patient’s personal information, the
score can yield an estimation of a
patients risk for coronary artery
disease.
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the most common health
issues in the world today. As with many conditions, early detection
and patient risk assessment are vital to preventing or minimizing
long-term negative effects. But many cases of this disease aren’t
diagnosed until the patient presents with symptoms. Conventional
procedures to assess risk can be expensive, time consuming, and
uncomfortable. An accessible, patient-friendly risk assessment
method could help clinicians devise a regimen for their patients that
might lessen the chance for serious cardiac events.
 Non-invasive alternative to
conventional assessment
procedures.
 Score can be correlated to age
group cohort to determine
patient’s risk per population
 Provides information on
coronary artery wall calcium
plaque buildup.
 Automatically detects calcium
and highlights it in green.
 Streamlines workflow by
networking patient
demographics from CT scanner
directly to SmartScore
program.
 Free Hand Trace lets you
outline specific ROIs.
