CARE
CAREmonitor
CAREmonitor shows the accumulated peak skin entrance dose according to the current projection in the form of
a fill indicator on the live monitor. Any change to the C-arm, table, SID, zoom, or collimator prompts the system to
automatically update the calculation.

If the accumulated reference air kerma exceeds a configured threshold, a warning sound is given and a pop-up displays on
the system.

CAREreport is a DICOM structured dose report; it contains all patient demographics, procedure, and dose information.
Using commercially available programs or in-house software, this information can be filtered for further processing, such
as dose analysis.

Works exclusively with Volcano® IVUS systems 2)

CLEARstent*
Uses an image-quality optimized algorithm to improve the visibility of the deployed stent during cardiac interventions
Optionally, contrast can be given. CLEARstent then calculates a scene alternating between the contrast-filled lumen and
the stent-enhanced image.
Resulting images and scenes can be archived in PACS and reviewed on any DICOM viewer

CLEARstent Live*
CLEARstent Live improves visibility of stents and balloons or other devices in real time, in relation to cardiac anatomy or
previously deployed, for cardiac interventions.
CLEARstent Live supports frame rates up to 15 fps
Works even when the balloon is moved within the coronary vessel or contrast agent is injected, allowing precise stent
positioning relative to previously implanted stents and/or vessel anatomy, therefore facilitating complex procedures
Processed images are displayed side by side with original scene on assist monitor (when present, otherwise on reference
monitor)
CLEARstent Live scenes are automatically saved to scene directory allowing for review of resulting DICOM images on any
DICOM viewer

IZ3D*
IZ3D offers automated detection and 3D analysis of single and bifurcated coronary arteries from 2D angiographic i­mages.
Out-of-plane magnification and foreshortening errors are minimized by calculating true geometric shape in 3D space from
two 2D X-ray projections.
In stent planning mode, a virtual stent can be specified. This virtual stent is then displayed in the 3D image and
corresponding markers are overlaid onto live fluoro and acquisition.
IZ3D Store
IZ3D Store* allows to export the 3D data set generated via IZ3D. The result is stored in STL-format and can be used for
scientific 3rd party applications.
