reduce acquisition time
• Combination of Turbo Spectroscopic Imaging and SENSE SpectroView data processing and display features
for maximum acquisition time reductions include:
• Easy-to-use interface, automated single click processing
- useful for both inexperienced and advanced users.
• SpectroView data processing includes basic and advanced
scripting capabilities to automate processing steps for
both time domain and frequency domain spectra.
• SpectroView data processing and viewing environment
enabling presentation of spectro data in the form of:
- Adjustable graphs & graphic display
- Result tables
- Ratio and metabolite images in color overlay
- Grids on reference images including corresponding
spectra
- Processed and fitted spectra
- Metabolite name labels
- Adjustable map opacity, color and windowing.
All data created can be transferred via (enhanced) DICOM
to PACS or other workstations and all results can be
converted to Windows-compatible formats.
