Cardiac Suite for Sarcoidosis

Volumetric uptake analysis for Sarcoidosis

Starting with Cardiac Suite version 2017.24, the Fusion page gains new abilities with the Measure functionality for ROI-based volumetric quantitative assessment of inflammatory disease states or other uptake-based workflows. These tools include sarcoidosis- and amyloidosis-specific measurements as well as a generic target-to-background ratio mode, and more. Additional planar features are available for amyloidosis.
