About Applications

An application in Vue PACS lets you view and manipulate images and define where you can place different groups of images. You can have multiple applications open on the monitor. The open applications appear in the Application Navigation bar at the top right corner of the screen. Only one application can be active at a time. Click the application tab to switch between applications.

Application Name

Description

PowerViewer

Displays one or more groups of images as 2D images. See Working with Groups.

MPR

Displays reconstructed cross-sections of data in the Axial, Sagittal, and Coronal views (multi-planar reformatted data).

3D

Displays studies in 3D, with bone removal and tissue definition, but without vessel analysis.

Volume Matching

Lets you register three-dimensional studies taken at different times or by different modalities (CT and MRI).

PET/CT

Lets you view the combined image data from any two complementary CT, MR, PET, or SPECT examinations. Current and prior (history) images are combined to easily show progress in areas of pathology (whether a tumor has increased or decreased). PET/CT application is an image viewer, a registration tool, and an analysis workstation.

Vessel Analysis

Lets you segment a new vessel in addition to already defined vessels. Once the vessel has been segmented, you can toggle between the views of each vessel by selecting the appropriate central line.

Cardiac Analysis

Lets you view the various phases of the heart, view the heart axis images.

Coronary Analysis

Lets you perform a full morphological review and quantitative analysis of the coronary arteries.

For more information, view the topics listed under Coronary Analysis.

Calcium Scoring

Lets you analyze coronary calcified plaque regions in a given set of 2D CT images. It also provides reports to correlate the score to any risk of coronary artery disease.

For more information, view the topics listed under Calcium Scoring.

In addition, you can change any of the 3D images to be displayed as one of the following rendition types:
