AmCAD UO is a PC based, self contained, non invasive image analysis software application for reviewing the pharyngeal/upper airway ultrasonic image acquired from an FDA cleared ultrasound system. The software is designed to support visualization and quantification of the airway sonographic characteristics. The software also provides tools for manual or interactive selection of Region of Interest to allow for analysis of the airway in terms of its size, position and enhancement pattern. This analysis provides information for physician’s evaluation and monitoring of the airway state.
"An individual software program or group of programs, routines or algorithms that add specific image processing and/or analysis capabilities to a diagnostic ultrasound system configuration. 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 programs or program packages must be combined with specific hardware or firmware configurations in order to function as intended. Applications program packages are typically identified by a proprietary name and ""version"" or ""upgrade"" number."
