Endoscopic Applications Releases Beta Version of Cystoviews© AIDS
IN RECORDING, REVIEWING, AND ARCHIVING OF BLADDER IMAGES AND SUPPORTING DATA
Boston MA, October 7, 2003 –Because of
a rise in cancer and other bladder problems, cystoscopies have increased over the past five years. Yet until recently, little
has been done to automate the process of documenting and archiving the images and other data derived from such procedures.
Endoscopic
Applications Company today announced the beta release of Cystoviews©, an integrated application that assists in the mapping
of bladder tumors during cystoscopic procedures such as cancer screening and surgery. The product is being developed with
the cooperation of a primary cystoscope equipment manufacturer, and clinical trials are currently under way at a leading hospital
and urology center.
Cystoviews documents the procedure by digitally capturing an image sequence, in whole or in part,
for later review. On review or playback, images can be annotated with pen or voice. Tumors can be mapped and measured either
by drawing the location on a bladder model or by utilizing a proprietary algorithm. All data is stored in the patient database
record for periodic follow-up.
Cystoviews runs on the Microsoft Windows XP and Tablet XP platforms. The Tablet PC supports
pen/electronic ink and voice recognition. Voice commands enable the physician to perform the cystoscopy or surgery and document
it without the inconvenience and awkwardness of having to keyboard the data.
Additionally, physicians and medical
staff can access other patient information such as scans, laboratory test results, and biopsies using the same application.
