Capture, Calibrate and Measure

EchoAnalysis was designed by echocardiographers to streamline the tedious process of performing analysis of echocardiograms in a core lab or clinical trial environment. In order to do this, we evaluated the most common steps performed when analyzing existing echocardiograms. Capture, calibrate and measure are the most common repeated tasks. EchoAnalysis is built around these 3 simple steps. See the How It Works section for more information.

Analog and Digital

While many labs have converted to digital, there are many that have not. Also, there are numerous archived studies on videotape. Digital studies can be saved in numerous formats. Most commonly, DICOM, but AVI, MOV and numerous others are commonplace. Core labs must handle all these formats. EchoAnalysis uses Apple QuickTime technology to allow the greatest degree of flexibility in viewing digital studies. Fortunately, videotape comes in only a few standards. EchoAnalysis supports the NTSC standard for video capture and analysis. EchoAnalysis uses the highest quality video capture equipment, allowing adjustments of contrast and brightness, color and sharpness during video acquisition. Advanced filtering can preserve even the most challenging images from multi-generational video copies.

EA Central

EA Central is our premiere web-based server product. It communicates with one or many copies of EchoAnalysis at one site or through the internet.
EA Central can:

• Control access to studies

• Upload studies from EchoAnalysis workstations to a central repository. This includes measurement, qualitatative AND image data.

• Download digital studies from EA Central to EchoAnalysis workstations.

• Perform QA assessements of individual or group studies.

• Define a set of gold standard interpretation to allow bulk interpreter testing.

EA Central is a complete database solution allowing standard queries and connectivity to other IT via web services or an ODBC connection.
