CardioMD (gamma camera)

The CardioMD gamma camera allows conducts a research of functioning of a cardiovascular system.

2017: Announcement of CardioMD IV

Within the conference of the American society of nuclear cardiology (ASNC; On September 14-17, 2017), the presentation of the CardioMD gamma camera of fourth generation from Philips company took place.

CardioMD IV integrates the technology of a one-photon issue computer tomography developed by Philips and vision algorithms of Astonish which help to improve image quality due to decrease in noise level and higher sensitivity. At the expense of it it is possible to reveal and localize the smallest centers of defeats that increases diagnostic reliability of researches and helps to save health of fabric during treatment.

Camera CardioMD IV

CardioMD IV uses the software for quantitative assessment of warm activity which improves an information flow in cardiological visualization.

Philips notes that the CardioMD IV system is created in such a way that it can be set in an office of a computer tomography without its capital updating.

The solution has access to the complex IntelliSpace Portal platform for visualization and quantitative assessment of multimodal data with an expanded neurologic set function. This platform helps to reveal pathology, to carry out its quantitative and quality assessment and to observe dynamics of treatment using algorithms of machine learning for the aid to the attending physician. 

According to forecasts of analysts of Technavio, the volume of the world market of a gamma tomography will reach $1.5 billion by 2021, and about 35% of the specified expenses will fall to the share of a cardiological segment.

According to the head of department of advanced molecular visualization of Philips Kirill Shalyaev, by September, 2017 about 59% of procedures of nuclear medicine in the USA fall to the share of scanning of heart.^[1]
