ImSimQA is software designed to aid physicists test a range of medical imaging and radiotherapy applications, such as rigid and elastic image fusion algorithms, and IGRT and 4D imaging systems. It is ideal for training in image fusion, auto segmentation, 3D margin growing and CT/MR/PET imaging.

ImSimQA provides a toolkit of 15 virtual phantoms that can be extensively edited and transformed, before being converted to DICOM CT, MR & PET simulated images. With the ability to add noise, change density, change slice spacing and re-orientate, the phantom DICOM images are then exported to the test application, minimizing the use of the real scanner and increasing the efficiency of testing. Real DICOM images can also be imported into ImSimQA for editing, without having to re-scan.

The ImSimQA software package is
comprised of three modules:

ImSimQA
Enhances and simplifies QA
Provides an image fusion test protocol

ImSimQA^4d (optional)
Because anatomy moves
Simulate respiratory gated images

ImSimQA^dform (optional)
Because anatomy changes
Simulate non-rigid transformations

ImSimQA^contour(optional)
For quantifiable and visual comparison of contours
Make inter-operator or inter-system comparisons

ImSimQA Benefits

• Extends the range and quality of testing of commonly-used radiation therapy and imaging systems
• Increases accuracy of testing
• Provides a cost effective toolkit of multiple phantoms
• Offers flexible and infinite scope for test scenarios
  
• Reduces the time needed to acquire test images on busy CT/MR/PET scanners, 4D and IGRT imaging systems
• TEST WITHOUT THE HARD PHANTOM, WITHOUT THE SCANNER!

Modus has partnered with UK-based ImSimQA developer, Oncology Systems Limited (OSL), to deliver their innovative virtual phantom software in North America. ImSimQA is complementary to the existing line of high quality advanced radiotherapy QA tools from Modus because it significantly expands the range of QA scenarios without having to buy a new phantom for every new configuration tested.
