CT:VQ software is a non-invasive image post-processing technology, using CT lung images to provide clinical decisionsupport for thoracic disease diagnosis and management in adult patients. It utilizes two non-contrast chest CT studies toquantify and visualize ventilation and perfusion.Quantification and visualizations are provided as DICOM images. CT:VQ may be used when Radiologists,Pulmonologists, and/or Nuclear Medicine Physicians need a better understanding of a patient's lung function and/orrespiratory condition.
An application software program intended to add specific image processing and/or analysis capabilities to an x-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging system; it is not dedicated to radiotherapy treatment planning. A basic set of applications programs and routines are included with such computer-controlled imaging systems and they can be upgraded to correct programming errors or to add new system capabilities. Some applications software routines or groups of routines must be combined with specific hardware or firmware accessories or configurations in order to function as intended. Applications program packages are typically identified by a proprietary name and version or upgrade number.
