Blackford Smart Localizer®
Features
• Identifies exams for comparison studies: Automatically determines relevant earlier exams for comparison studies and looks for any previous registrations.
• Performs volumetric registration: Automatically implements volumetric registration of new exams relevant to prior exams and stores results as new series.
• Adds a new localizer tool to PACS user interface: Blackford Smart Localizer can be used as soon as exams are opened, and all processing is completed by the Blackford Platform™ before reading.
• Automates volume registration: Volume registration of current and prior imaging studies is conveniently automated.
• Overcomes differences between studies: Negates the variances that typically exist between comparison studies that have been performed on different modalities and different vendors.
• Effective comparison: Effective for comparison of multiple exams such as lung nodules or multiple lesions.
• Single-click navigation: Instantly able to navigate to the same location across exams, modalities as well as different frames of reference – in one click.
Multi-modality, multiple anatomies: Currently supports 80% of cross-sectional exams based on CMS data, including CT, MR and PET/CT exams and modalities for the head, chest, spine and body.
