Bracco Diagnostics Unveils Updated HeartSee Software for Cardiac PET Imaging

In order to facilitate enhanced assessment of myocardial blood flow (MBF) with cardiac positron emission tomography (PET), Bracco Diagnostics has released updated HeartSee v4.0 software.

The company said key benefits of the HeartSee v4.0 software include:

• measurement of subendocardial ischemia;

• assessment of relative stress flow, which allows indirect evaluation of subendocardial border zones in areas with mild reduction of coronary flow capacity (CFC); and

• additional data on ejection fraction.

"These improvements underscore our dedication to supporting physicians in making informed decisions that improve patient outcomes. We believe the new features of HeartSee will set a new standard in cardiac care, helping to detect and treat coronary artery disease more effectively and efficiently than ever before,” noted Derek Steptoe, the senior manager of nuclear cardiology at Bracco Diagnostics.

In addition to the software’s compatibility with Windows 10 and 11 operating systems at hospitals and other health-care facilities, Bracco Diagnostics said it provides dedicated field support and training for the HeartSee v4.0 software.
