OsiriX-based modular EVAR software
The software SOVA.evar is certified for clinical use (class IIb medical device) and extends the medical image viewer OsiriX (in certified versions, e.g. the aycan workstation OsiriX PRO) by an autonomous dedicated tool for EVAR sizing and planning. The complete system operates on a consumer Apple Mac Computer, e.g. on a stationary iMac or an mobile MacBook Pro. SOVA.evar processes DICOM image data of CT angiographies loaded from the OsiriX database and is capable of writing DICOM data such as reporting sheets and visualizations back into the database and to the PACS.
Besides SOVA.evar, also a non-certified version of the OsiriX plugin is available. This plugin is provided by our partner SOVA Distribution for non-clinical use (e.g. for medical research or training).
Workflow
Organize your DICOM studies and series with OsiriX. Select the desired series and start SOVA.evar.
Vessel Identification: In SOVA.evar, select the vascular structures with a single mouse click. If needed, refine the results using a simple tool.
Lumen Centerlines: From the automatically generated lumen center lines, select two lines and, if needed, adjust them according to your measurement strategy.
Lumen Centerlines: For example, straighten a centerline section in order to plan the required length of the stent graft more accurately.
Measurement: Assess diameter, length and angle parameters and enter the results in the stentgraft form of your choice. Angles can be measured both along the centerline (e.g. for measuring the aortic neck angle) as well as on the basis of the MPR plane orthogonal to the centerline.
Our workflow supports any measurement strategy.
Document your steps using the screenshot function and save the results back to the OsiriX database and (depending on your configuration) to the PACS.
