Can 3D Modeling Replace a Guidewire-Based Cardiac Procedure?
The CathWorks FFRangio System, which received FDA clearance in late last year, has just been approved by the Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW). Designed for use during angiography, the non-invasive diagnostic tool turns routine angiogram images into color-coded 3D renderings of blood flow in the heart's arteries. Physicians can then use the images to determine whether a stent is needed. “The CathWorks FFRangio System automatically receives the angiograms in DiCOM format from the C-ARM (X-Ray) systems at the time of angiogram procedure,” Ramin Mousavi, vice president,&...
