This new integrated solution enables efficient analysis of lesions, including automated quantification of lung tumors. Definiens LungExpert™, which helps radiologists monitor tumor therapy progress, is the company’s second image analysis application for the efficient treatment of cancer.
“The intuitive user interface and plugin capabilities of OsiriX PRO enabled us to seamlessly pair it with Definiens LungExpert, resulting in an extremely fast and easy-to-use solution. aycan's professional support made it easy for us to utilize the popular OsiriX platform,” said Oliver Lehner, Vice President, Clinical Solutions Business at Definiens. “Definiens LungExpert™ allows new levels of automation and efficiency in lung tumor analysis. Adding this software to OsiriX PRO is another example of how aycan responds to the trend toward more quantitative and standardized diagnostics. This is in line with QIBA – Goals (Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers Alliance) to increase the utility and value of imaging.”
“We are excited about this cooperation,” added Stephan Popp, CEO of aycan. “Definiens is one of the leading innovators in the area of image analysis and quantification. Its software combined with our Apple-based post processing OsiriX PRO platform will allow us to bring many other innovative solutions to the market.”
The new workstation is expected to be available in early 2011 from aycan. A first version will be showcased by Definiens at RSNA Annual Meeting 2010 within the Quantitative Imaging Reading Room.
