Pie Medical Imaging managing director Rene Guillaume said “With CAAS Qardia 2.0 Pie Medical Imaging underscores its commitment to simplify the cardiologist’s daily practice with accurate and easy-to-use analysis tools.”

According to the company, foreshortening of views of the heart can negatively affect functional measurements, such as the frequently unnoticed phenomenon of myocardial strain.

The new technology aims to counteract this by providing the user with quality control indices.

It is currently available in a server-based or classical stand-alone setup and has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as CE mark.

Pie Medical Imaging stated that healthcare institutions can use the new platform for all their multi-vendor echocardiography image sets.

The company is focused on cardiovascular image analysis and visualisation. It hosts global sales for the CAAS and 3mensio product lines.

Together with 3mensio Medical Imaging, Pie Medical Imaging is a part of the Esaote Group, which offers biomedical equipment that includes dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Medical IT and ultrasound devices.
