Hybrid Viewer is a software application for nuclear medicine and radiology. Based on user input, Hybrid Viewer processes, displays and analyzes nuclear medicine and radiology imaging data and presents the results to the user. The results can be stored for future analysis. Hybrid Viewer is equipped with dedicated workflows which have predefined settings and layouts optimized for specific nuclear medicine investigations. The software application can be configured based on user needs. The investigation of physiological or pathological states using measurement and analysis functionality provided by Hybrid Viewer is not intended to replace visual assessment. The information obtained from viewing and/or performing quantitative analysis on the images is used, in conjunction with other patient related data, to inform clinical management.
A freestanding, multi-purpose, image processing device that can be a component of one or more nuclear medicine imaging systems, e.g., a gamma camera, PET system or SPECT system. It is sometimes considered to be a component to a picture archiving and communication system (PACS). It does not contain the controls for the direct operation of the diagnostic imaging system. It can receive and transmit data both on-line and off-line and is typically located at a site remote from the operator's console. It has the capability to further process, manipulate and/or view patient images and information collected from one or more nuclear medicine based imaging systems.
