Insights newsletter - October 5, 2023
Coregistration
Welcome to our bi-weekly insights letter, where we keep you in the loop on the latest developments, exciting milestones, and progress in creating our cutting-edge software. We appreciate your continued support and are thrilled to share our journey with you. Here's a snapshot of what's been happening:
Important regulatory notice:
This newsletter contains information about nordicMEDiVA. Some options and features in nordicMEDiVA are pending 510(k) submission and may not be available for sale in the United States.
Coregistration
As mentioned in a previous newsletter, the interpretation of fMRI data depends on the accurate alignment of the EPI series to the anatomical T1 series in order to co-localize the BOLD activation to the appropriate cortical regions. The QIBA Profile for fMRI studies is a good resource to refer to for the implementation of best practices for performing fMRI studies.
With nordicMEDiVA, we align to the QIBA recommendations in the fMRI post-processing workflow.
Feature Insight
Seamless Coregistration Process
With our coregistration feature, every time you overlay image series that are not aligned, we guide you through the coregistration workflow.
This provides a smooth process for viewing and verifying exactly what you want to see and reduces the challenges of working with misaligned data.
Feature Insight
All the Necessary Coregistration Tools
Perform a visual verification of alignment between functional and structural images, supported by opacity adjustments, application of different palettes and other visual tools;
Manually align the images and adjust translation and rotation values. This can be done to either overwrite the automatic alignment or to kick-off a new automatic co-registration process.
Feature Insight
Coregistration status at your fingertips
Stay informed with ease. The translation and rotation parameters for all image pairs are available in a dedicated Coregistration widget. You'll have clear visibility of the status of each image series, making it simple to identify which series are aligned and which ones are not.
Feature Insight
Flexible process
Perform a visual verification of alignment between functional and structural images, supported by opacity adjustments, application of different palettes and other visual tools;
Manually align the images and adjust translation and rotation values. This can be done to either overwrite the automatic alignment or to kick-off a new automatic co-registration process.
Feature Insight
Conflict-free coregistration for shared sessions
Collaboration is made easy in nordicMEDiVA. During shared sessions, only one user can perform coregistration for a study at any given time. This ensures that no conflicts arise, and everyone using the same patient study will receive updates as soon as the process is completed.
Coming Soon
Session Sharing
In the next nordicMEDiVA newsletter we'll talk about session sharing. Share your findings with colleagues to get a second opinion for complex cases, to streamline the approval process for study results or to present the study results to a wider audience.
Stay tuned!
Announcement
See you tomorrow at ASFNR 2023 in Boston!
Dates: October 7th – October 8th
Don't miss out on the BOLD fMRI hands-on workshop tomorrow. Dr. Cathy Elsinger, Managing Director, NordicNeuroLab, is giving a talk about our current products and the new products that are soon to be released.
You'll have the chance to meet our industry-leading people for a casual talk about fMRI and MRI post-processing.
Announcement
Meet us at RSNA 2023 in Chicago!
Our biggest conference ever
We have been at RSNA for many years, even with a largely scaled down booth during the Covid 19 pandemic. This year, however, we have grown our booth to be larger than ever, and are excited to welcome anyone for a friendly conversation.
Our new post-processing platform, nordicMEDIVA, will be one of our many stars of the show, and you will get an opportunity to see it in real life, and get a hands-on demo.
Find us in the North hall, next to GE.
Book a live demo and see nordicMEDiVA in action!
