POTENTIAL PACEMAKER HAZARD
Although the possibility of interference with pacemakers is slight, the operator should be alert to such
a potential hazard from any equipment using high-frequency electrical signals.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The CARESTREAM Vue PACS is an image management system whose intended use is to provide
completely scalable local and wide area PACS solutions for hospital and related institutions/sites,
which will archive, distribute, retrieve and display images and data from all hospital modalities and
information systems. The system is to be used by trained professionals including, but not limited to,
physicians and medical technicians.
The system contains interactive tools in order to ease the process of analyzing and comparing three
dimensional (3D) images. It is a single system that integrates review, dictation and reporting tools to
create a productive work environment for the radiologists and physicians.
The system contains a Perfusion module with interactive tools to analyze and compare Computed
Tomography Perfusion (CTP) and MR Perfusion (MRP) images of adult patients. Blood perfusion
parameters are automatically calculated and displayed as a set of perfusion maps and perfusion
tables. The perfusion tables include the calculation of parameters related to tissue flow (perfusion)
and tissue blood volume.
The system contains a Diffusion Module with interactive tools to ease the process of analyzing and
comparing MR Diffusion Weighted images (DWI) and MR Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) of adult
patients. This module is used to visualize local water diffusion properties from the analysis of
diffusion- weighted MRI data.
The system supports Subtraction with interactive tools to aid with the analysis of Digital Subtraction
Angiography (DSA) images in both interventional radiology and cardiology. Subtraction automatically
subtracts a mask from contrast frames of an X-Ray Angiography study for visualization of vascular
anatomy and pathology of adult patients.
