IMPAX PET & SPECT Viewing is software from Agfa HealthCare that allows radiologists to view and compare imaging studies from multiple modalities like CT, MRI, PET and SPECT. It provides automated registration of PET/SPECT and CT/MRI studies from different time points with a single click. The software also offers advanced visualization tools like fused views and SUV calculations to help optimize diagnostic workflows and follow-up studies. IMPAX PET & SPECT Viewing tightly integrates with Agfa HealthCare's IMPAX radiology platform and does not require specialized training to use.

Follow up with a single click
Advances in imaging have provided radiologists with
a variety of high quality, high resolution imaging
technologies. With IMPAX PET & SPECT Viewing,
Agfa HealthCare provides the physician with an
automated, easy-to-use set of tools for viewing
and comparing studies. Images can come from
independent modalities (CT, MRI, PET, SPECT) or from
hybrid modalities (PET-CT, PET-MRI, SPECT-CT). With
the completely automated application, the radiologist
can initiate registration of two PET/SPECT-CT or PET/
SPECT-MRI studies with a single mouse click.
One system, different modalities
Over the past few years, there has been a strong
increase in the use of combined modalities (e.g.
hybrid PET/SPECT-CT scanners), creating a need for
powerful software tools. IMPAX PET & SPECT Viewing
provides the tools needed to help optimize the value
of combining modalities.
Multi-modality registration and fusion allows the
radiologist to efficiently view images collected
from different imaging devices to provide important
information for follow-up studies.
IMPAX PET & SPECT Viewing allows both side-by-
side viewing and fusion of studies from multiple
modalities. SUVs are automatically calculated for PET
studies and together with volume measurements of
lesions this can provide additional information for
treatment planning.

No specialized staff or extensive training
needed
While IMPAX PET & SPECT Viewing extends IMPAX
functionality, it has been designed to be very easy to use. It
has the same unified ‘look & feel’ as the IMPAX radiology
workstation, so the reading radiologist feels familiar with the
software from the very first minute. The user interface is very
intuitive: there is no need for specialized staff or extensive
training to be able to use IMPAX PET & SPECT Viewing.
