AQUILAB - ARTISCAN

Artiscan

The first fully-automated quality control software solution for medical imaging

Medical imaging quality has now become a key factor in pertinent diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making by your medical teams.
As an independent, automated solution fully integrated into your environment, ARTISCAN helps ensure constant performance for each of your technical facilities and enables you to optimize your imaging protocols.
ARTISCAN is now the reference software solution for imaging and radiotherapy equipment quality control, in both France and Europe.

Fully integrated and automated image analysis

ARTISCAN directly handles the DICOM files generated by your imaging equipment, whether through a network connection or via CDs.

With precision and consistency, ARTISCAN automatically analyses the test object images generated by your imaging systems:

• Easy configuration of a wide range of analysis and tolerance settings
• Automatic equipment and image recognition
• Powerful and automatic scientific analysis tools
• An alert system for non-compliant items

Fully compatible with your existing and future equipment

ARTISCAN is compatible with all known equipment and ensures independent, single-source quality control of even the most heterogeneous and complex technical facilities:

• All types of imaging systems: CT scanner, Digital radiography, mammography, MRI, nuclear medicine/PET, portal
• All types of networks: remote sites, care networks, PACS…
• All types of quality control phantoms and manufacturers test objects

Parameter monitoring for all imaging modalities and radiotherapy techniques
ARTISCAN calculates and records all the parameters recommended for equipment quality assessment:

• noise, signal-to-noise ratio
• uniformity
• deformations
• slice thickness and profile
• laser/slice alignment
• Table motion
• spatial resolution
• high- and low-contrast resolution
• grey-scale linearity
• Feld size
• penumbra and leakage measurement
• ghosting
• etc.

ARTISCAN is also used as a management tool for equipment tracking:

• Delivered dose
• visual and mechanical checks
• audit reports
• etc.
