Diagnostic advantages and possibilities for secondary reconstruction of NewTom 9000 data sets using eFilm.
In order to facilitate diagnosis of images generated with the NewTom 9000, the professional DICOM viewer eFilm Workstation was used for evaluation. Primary reconstructions of patient data of one hundred NewTom 9000 examinations were exported to the DICOM format and subsequently imported in the DICOM viewer eFilm Workstation. Multiplanar reconstructions (MPR) and three-dimensional reconstructions were computed for diagnostic purposes. All desired perspectives can be viewed with this software with CT-like printouts, offering several additional features and an uncomplicated print modus. The DICOM viewer eFilm Workstation is an easy-to-use alternative to the standard software provided by quantitative radiology.
