IB Clinic is designed to aid trained physicians in advanced image assessment, treatment consideration, and monitoring of therapeutic response. It generates various perfusion and diffusion related parameters, standardized image sets, and image intensity differences.
Images shown for illustrative purposes only.
Clinical Workflow
For CalanticTM software version 1.0.0, no prior study will be examined.
IB DCE
- Image process: DCE Perfusion Weighted MR Imaging (DCE-MRI)
- Slice thickness: 3-5mm
- Reconstruction: Axial
- Matrix size: Any
- Minimum contiguous volume: Any
- Maximum contiguous volume: Any
- Repetition time: Shortest TR<500ms , Shortest TE<10 ms
- Flip angle: Small FA=20º
IB Diffusion
- Image process: MR Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI)
- Slice thickness: 3-5mm
- Reconstruction: Axial
- Matrix size: Any
- Minimum contiguous volume: Sufficient for tumor coverage
IB Neuro
- Image process: DSC Perfusion Weighted MR Imaging (DSC-MRI)
- Slice thickness: 3-5mm
- Reconstruction: Axial
- Matrix size: Any
- Minimum contiguous volume: Sufficient for tumor coverage
- Maximum contiguous volume: Chosen such that TR>2s with tumor coverage
- Repetition time: 1000 – 15000ms
- Flip angle: 60º or 30º w/preload at 1.5T 30o no preload at 3T
IB Delta T1
- Image process: MR T1-weighted images (with and without contrast)
- Slice thickness: 3-5mm
- Reconstruction: Axial
- Matrix size: Any
- Repetition time: Any
