Perceptive Informatics, a leading eClinical solutions provider and a subsidiary of PAREXEL International Corporation (Nasdaq: PRXL), today announced that it has expanded its leading medical imaging capabilities with advanced nuclear imaging functionality for cardiology clinical trials. Perceptive has incorporated into its medical imaging technologies components of Hermes Medical Solutions Nuclear Medicine Software Suite and INVIA's Corridor4DM, a solution for nuclear cardiac quantification and imaging. The solutions allow Perceptive to better integrate several imaging modalities, including Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Multi Gated Acquisition Scan (MUGA) to enhance electronic processing, review, analysis, reporting, and archiving of medical images for cardiology trials.
The Hermes Medical Solutions Nuclear Medicine Software Suite provides the ability to display and reconstruct raw data sets using both back-projection and iterative methods for quantitative analysis. These solutions allow Perceptive to accept images from any scanner and assemble them into a standardized, consistent format for processing and review. Corridor4DM from INVIA offers quantification, review, and reporting of cardiac perfusion, function, and anatomy in 3-D. The system provides advanced processing algorithms and image display for greater diagnostic accuracy and quality assurance. These enhancements further expand Perceptive's capabilities for medical imaging-based cardiology trials, which include the use of DigiView, a specialized echocardiography image management and reporting system for cardiac function assessment.
