ContextVision Signs Contract with Medison for Real-time Volumetric Ultrasound Imaging
ContextVision Signs Contract with Medison for Real-time Volumetric
Ultrasound Imaging
GOPiCE US provides clinicians unprecedented image enhancement
capabilities
BOSTON, Mass. and STOCKHOLM, Sweden - October 5, 2010 - ContextVision,
the software imaging partner for the most recognized medical imaging
manufacturers worldwide, today announced that Medison, a world-class
manufacturer of advanced ultrasound technology, will incorporate
ContextVision's volumetric image enhancement tool, GOPiCE® US, into its
ultrasound units during the second half of 2010. GOPiCE, the first
real-time volumetric filtering software for ultrasound, offers
clinicians the ability to see areas never seen before, including
anatomies comprised of deep tissue and behind bone.
GOPiCE filters three-dimensional ultrasound volumes, removing speckle
and other artifacts, while simultaneously extending the clinician's
vision to planes previously hidden, such as the regions of the fetal
brain previously hidden by speckle and noise in two-dimensional and
three-dimensional ultrasound images.
"The real-time volumetric imaging of GOPiCE will be available across the
globe thanks to Medison, an ultrasound market leader," said Anita
Tollstadius, CEO of ContextVision. "Based on initial reaction to
GOPiCE's capabilities, ContextVision plans to adapt the technology to
extend its use across other modalities."
In 2009, Thomas Jefferson University conducted a clinical evaluation
with GOPiCE. The study, presented at AIUM in March, concludes that
GOPiCE US offers significantly better image quality compared to
competing image enhancement technologies. Dr. Flemming Forsberg,
Department of Radiology, led the study, which compared unprocessed
volumes, volumes processed with two-dimensional processing software, and
those processed with GOPiCE's three-dimensional real-time technologies.
Like all ContextVision products, GOPiCE US relies on an adaptive
algorithm, GOP®, which mimics the human eye's method of finding
information and analyzing structures. This enables the software to
distinguish between true and false information (e.g. noise, artifacts)
and accurately identify true structures.
