"Myocardial strain is a much more reliable marker of regional ventricular dysfunction than 'traditional' techniques…"

Diagnosoft® HARP®
Diagnosoft HARP is the first FDA 510k-cleared software designed for the analysis of tagged magnetic resonance images. This innovative software solution uses HARmonic Phase techniques to measure and visualize the regional motion of the heart: a sensitive indicator of heart disease. Using HARP methodology, MR images are “tagged” by magnetizing the heart and surrounding tissues with a special pattern. Following these tag lines tracks the motion of the heart, providing rapid measurement and analysis of its movements, regional function and ventricular torsion.
      Benefits
Improves Accuracy: By measuring the motion of the segments of the heart, including regional strain and twisting of the left ventricle. Enhances Precision: Strain maps produced by Diagnosoft HARP clearly show the degree and exact location of regional dysfunction. Increase Sensitivity: Diagnosoft HARP measurements enable the detection of subtle changes in regional function that are nearly impossible to detect with visually. Features
Fast accurate method to calculate strain. Exports color coded Bulls-eye charts and graphical charts along with numerical values. Analyzes several different series types including horizontal and vertical, and grids. |
