At the heart of xPipe is the Cedara Image Enhancement™ module, which targets specific noise patterns introduced by the imaging device. The result is superior image quality with reduced noise, sharpened anatomical boundaries and improved contrast. Also included is the novel Cedara Exposure Index™, which provides automated quality control of radiation dose and image quality. This measurement is compliant with the recent International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard. Each module is packaged as a Microsoft® Windows® 32 dynamic link library (.dll) without any user interface, which gives software developers flexibility in their approach.
Justin Dearborn, CEO of Merge Healthcare said, With the release of Cedara xPipe, the OEM division of Merge Healthcare reinforces its position as a leading provider of tools for the development of CR and DR consoles. The comprehensive, fully automated functionality offered by xPipe enables our partners to deliver state of the art consoles. Inclusion of the Cedara Exposure Index demonstrates our continued commitment to supporting the latest standards.
