The only clinically validated perfusion imaging software available in the angio suite, Rapid for Angio* is Rapid CTP optimized for cone beam CT (CBCT). Rapid for Angio is available for usage with the Siemens Healthineers ARTIS icono and syngo DynaCT Multiphase.
Rapid for Angio delivers detailed, color-coded results to identify brain regions with reduced cerebral blood flow and blood volume as well as delayed contrast arrival directly in the angiography procedure room
The mismatch map provides a comparison between brain regions with substantial reductions in cerebral blood flow (CBF) in pink and regions with significant hypoperfusion in green as reflected by delays in contrast arrival times (Tmax delays).
This map offers a co-registered view of the CT scan with the CT perfusion maps. No thresholds are applied and no volumes are calculated on this map. It provides a comparison between CT findings and the perfusion images.
This map shows the severity of the delays in contrast arrival times (Tmax), the volume of tissue with delays, and the Hypoperfusion Intensity Ratio (HIR) which is automatically calculated.
Rapid for Angio allows for perfusion imaging directly in the angio suite enabling direct to angio acute stroke workflows and shortening patient time to treatment.
In as few as two minutes from receipt of a scan, Rapid for Angio delivers detailed, easy-to-interpret, color-coded results to help physicians quickly identify tissue that is irreversibly injured and estimate tissue that is likely to progress to infarction without intervention.
Rapid CTP, the module optimized and validated in the Rapid for Angio product, has been used and validated in more than 10 major clinical trials including EXTEND, SWIFT-PRIME, DAWN, EXTEND-IA, and DEFUSE 3.
"In our acute stroke experience, direct in-angio suite use of Rapid on the Siemens Healthineers ARTIS icono is a game changing approach to reduce time to reperfusion and improve clinical outcomes."
