CT SUREPlaque

CT SUREPlaque provides the visualization and measurement of vessel walls and plaque characteristics in arterial vessels using color defined Hounsfield Unit (HU) ranges through a streamlined workflow. It can assist in the stratification of patients identified to have atherosclerosis.

Key Benefits

  • SUREPlaque tools assist clinicians in evaluating the characteristics inside blood vessels:
    • Quantify plaque burden and coronary remodeling non-invasively
    • Visualize coronary vessel anatomy and disease with ease using defined HU ranges
    • Characterize a lesion in the vessel wall as either calcified or non-calcified
  • Perivascular CT Density tool assists clinicians in evaluating the characteristics surrounding the blood vessels (perivascular wall or outer wall/surface):
    • Visualize different density regions around the vessel with ease using defined HU ranges
    • Quantify and export different metrics along with visualization of the density regions
  • Single-click segmentation with automatic centerline and lumen boundaries
  • Automatic measurement and display of: lumen area and diameter; plaque area; plaque burden; ratio of wall area and lumen area; plaque volume; and plaque index

Workshop

“If you just click on the perivascular fat icon, you will get the image, which will show you the density of the perivascular fat, and you can see if there is ongoing inflammation even if there is no plaque.”
