How long have you been using Medis Suite MR and what aspects attracted you to this product?

I have worked with Medis for 20 years now and have been using Medis Suite MR both for clinical purposes (LV volumes, Ejection fraction, Strain and Flow and 4Dflow for congenital patients) and research (stress perfusion quantification). I have seen Medis grow throughout the years and stayed in close contact with the team to share ideas and suggestions. I feel that Medis actively uses my input to improve the products and overall customer experience.

What are the benefits that you experience from using Medis Suite MR? How did it change your day-to-day practice?

Medis has been part of my day-to-day practice since 2003. When I first started using Medis Suite MR, the analysis would take long time, but in the last 20 years I’ve experienced the innovativeness of Medis especially since the introduction of Artificial Intelligence. Now the results are analyzed in the background and automatically calculated all with a single click. It provides me with a rapid, reliable analysis. Currently, the AI in the software is so powerful that in some cases adaptation might even worsen your outcome.

This has increased our ease of use, saved us a lot of time and consequently increased the quality of the clinical reporting.

What made Medis (Suite MR) stand out from other options in the market?

When you select a software solution/provider, it is highly likely that you are getting used to the way it works, you get trained on the particular features, functionality and workflow which makes it harder to switch to a different one. However, for me Medis Suite MR is quite intuitive that anyone could easily adapt.

How long have you been using Medis Suite MR and what aspects attracted you to this product?

I have been using Medis post processing solutions for more than 15 years and what has attracted me is the ease of use and the great amount  of information that it provides.

What are the benefits that you experience from using Medis Suite MR?

What I always saw as a big benefit is the super expedited processing, with all the tools needed for a comprehensive cardiac MR report.

What are your thoughts on the newly released novel parameter, Inward Displacement?

Inward Displacement is a great new tool that will allow to quantify wall motion abnormalities in an objective way. I recently published a case report demonstrating the use of Inward Displacement to objectively confirm regional dysfunction in a patient with a myocardial infarct.

What made Medis (Suite MR) stand out from other options in the market?

For me it is the ease of use and having a total comprehensive tool for every type of pathology analysed using CMR.

Dr. Dietrich Beitzke leads the cardiovascular MR Unit at the Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-guided Therapy of the Medical University of Vienna. His research focuses on cardiac MRI after transplantation and hybrid PET/MR in cardiovascular diseases.

How long have you been using Medis Suite MR and what aspects attracted you to this product?

We are using Medis Suite MR since 2016 for our research and in clinical routine. The most important aspect is the improvement of our CMR post-processing workflow in terms of time and accuracy.

What are the benefits that you experience from using Medis Suite MR? How did it change your day-to-day practice?

Medis Suite MR really improved our clinical workflow especially with implementation of the robust automated ventricular contouring and the clearly arranged reporting function.

What are your thoughts on QMap within Medis Suite MR and in what way did QMap change/affect your daily workflow?

QMap improved especially the work up of newly diagnosed left ventricular hypertrophy and improved our capability to monitor treatment response in storage diseases like cardiac amyloidosis and Fabry Anderson Disease.

What made Medis (Suite MR) stand out from other options in the market?

We are very satisfied with the customer service Medis is providing. The after sales service is always easily accessible.

Prof. Atilla Toth

Radiologist at Gottsegen György Hungarian Institute of Cardiology & Semmelweis University, Hungary

Professor Atilla Toth is a radiologist and cardiac MR specialist with 20 years of experience with interest areas of congenital heart disease, GUCH/ACHD. Staff member from 2004 at the Heart and Vascular Center of Semmelweis University. Radiology Board Certification in 2008. Level 3 EACVI certified CMR and CHD CMR specialist.

How long have you been using Medis Suite MR and what aspects attracted you to this product?

I’ve started my CMR career on a 1.5T GE scanner. The console was running IRIX on an Octane 2 and by that time Advantage Workstation 2.0 was running Solaris on Sparc hardware. Medis QMass 3.0 and QFlow were delivered as the evaluation software for cardiac use. I’ve been using Medis since than. I’ve used different versions of Medis on Linux and eventually on Windows. The graphical user experience is an important aspect for me, for example rubber-banding.

What are the benefits that you experience from using Medis Suite MR?

It is good to speed up the workflow using automated modules and options, but it is still important to be able to interact and modify a given step if I’d like to do so. If the workflow is too strict/hard-wired or it is hard to adjust the automatic end-result upon need, I prefer the alternative that lets me play.

What are your thoughts on the newly released novel parameter, Inward displacement?

QStrain is a quick and easy solution, but I’ve found the bull’s eye visualization not intuitive enough in a lot of cases.

On the other hand, Inward Displacement module with it’s simple mechanical concepts reflects wall motion abnormalities better in my opinion. It can be especially helpful for those who are less experienced or experts who have to supervise multiple cases.

What made Medis (Suite MR) stand out from other options in the market?

If I have to mention a useful feature, I’d emphasize AutoQ contour detection and mapping co-registration for easy ECV evaluation. I think Medis is easy to integrate, it runs on almost any hardware (true for both the server and the clients) and several colleagues can work concurrently with the floating license mechanism. Session files stores calipers and by a click of a button it brings me to the place of measurement in 3DView.

“We have been using QFR^® since 2022. It will streamline the Cath Lab workflow, increasing the pre and post adoption of coronary physiology. For me, the benefits of QFR^® are both the cost effectiveness as well as the time efficiency.”
