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.
