March 21, 2016: Olea Medical, a provider of advanced MR and CT perfusion imaging post-processing announces FDA clearance of Olea Sphere® 3.0 medical imaging enterprise software package in the US.
Olea Sphere® is an image processing software package intended for picture archive, post-processing and communication. It helps standardize both viewing and analysis capabilities of functional and dynamic imaging datasets acquired with MRI and CT across vendors. It features innovative image viewing, analysis and processing of most complex MR sequences as well as longitudinal analysis of multiple time points. Olea Sphere® is compliant with the DICOM standard and Windows® or Linux® operating systems. Olea Sphere® runs on any standard off-the-shelf workstation or it can be used through thin deployment. It maintains the traceability of patient data, through an automatic logout mode, a total connectivity and compatibility with LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory.
New advanced post-processing modules to be introduced on the US market following the FDA clearance are IVIM (Intravoxel Incoherent Motion), Metabolic and Relaxometry. With this clearance, Olea Medical becomes the first manufacturer to provide advanced post-processing for IVIM imaging, integrating their proprietary Bayesian method. IVIM MRI is a powerful feature of diffusion MRI allowing the non-invasive of evaluation blood micro-circulation in tissues without the use of contrast agents.
"The FDA clearance of this new version of Olea Sphere® , including new advanced post-processing modules, is a confirmation of our capacity of innovation. It is with great pride that we introduce these new developments on a highly demanding market.
