Motion Correction on the Fly

ParalyzerPLUS

To minimize motion artifacts for the standing horse, MiE has developed the world’s first real time motion correction

Beside the motion correction during acquisition the ParalyzerPLUS improves the signal to noise ratio with standardized parameters. This will display sharper contours and makes a precise diagnosis possible without losing counts.

The rigid registration software allows shorter image acquisition times and improved diagnostic quality.

Using the Paralyzer software offers the possibility to elimate the need to repeat acquisitions.

  • the entire scanning process is faster
  • no post processing is needed for motion correction
  • allowing to increase patient throughput
  • reduce staff radiation dose per examination

Image Fusion

MiE’s Image Fusion for scintigraphy and x-ray images enhances the diagnostic possibilities.

The program evaluates the different structures, resolution, acquisition geometries and regions. Rotation, translation (shift) and scaling will be adjusted.

The process operates multi modal and automatic. The fusion allows the combined usage of the morphologic information of the x-ray and the functional information of the scintigraphy in one image.
