Blackford-Smart-Localizer-5-2150x1150-RD-1536x822

Features

• Identifies exams for comparison studies: Automatically determines relevant earlier exams for comparison studies and looks for any previous registrations.

• Performs volumetric registration: Automatically implements volumetric registration of new exams relevant to prior exams and stores results as new series.

• Adds a new localizer tool to PACS user interface: Blackford Smart Localizer can be used as soon as exams are opened, and all processing is completed by the Blackford Platform™ before reading.

• Automates volume registration: Volume registration of current and prior imaging studies is conveniently automated.

• Overcomes differences between studies: Negates the variances that typically exist between comparison studies that have been performed on different modalities and different vendors.

• Effective comparison: Effective for comparison of multiple exams such as lung nodules or multiple lesions.

• Single-click navigation: Instantly able to navigate to the same location across exams, modalities as well as different frames of reference – in one click.

Multi-modality, multiple anatomies: Currently supports 80% of cross-sectional exams based on CMS data, including CT, MR and PET/CT exams and modalities for the head, chest, spine and body.
