Advanced Imaging

Complete Cardiac CT and MRI Structured Reporting Workflow

Faster, More Accurate Diagnostic Decisions

The complex and powerful capabilities of Cardiac CT (CCT) and Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) demand an equally sophisticated reporting system. ASCEND delivers highly specialized, multi-modality modules that ensure data integrity for advanced cardiac imaging.  

Structured Analytics for Intricate Cardiac Architecture 

ASCEND structured reporting captures your entire clinical report as discrete, queryable data, from diagnostic findings and severity to measurements and recommendations. Whether analyzing complex quantitative datasets or monitoring population-level trends, ASCEND transforms every study into highly scannable clinical documentation and accessible intelligence, eliminating delays associated with traditional data requests and providing immediate visibility into finding prevalence, serial patient changes, reader consistency, and turnaround times across thousands of reports.

Unified Stress and Imaging Lifecycles

The Nuclear Cardiology module tracks the patient's journey from baseline vitals through stress protocols and ECG results to final image interpretation, ASCEND provides a clear structured format that enhances diagnostic accuracy and report clarity. 

Key Capabilities:

  • Multi-Phase Stress Tables: Dedicated documentation tabs capture data across both the Stress phase and the Imaging phase seamlessly, keeping chronologies perfectly organized. 

  • Integrated ECG Findings: Quickly document repolarization abnormalities, rhythm variations, and resting anomalies within a dedicated baseline and stress ECG tracking interface.

  • Structured MPI Findings: Input precise perfusion data into an organized MPI-specific findings array, converting visual scan interpretations into database-ready clinical text. 

  • Image Analysis Integration: Full integration with your image review workstation import the complete spectrum of perfusion data and optionally embed key clinical images directly into the final document. Native reporting capabilities that are far more integrated with EHR and treadmill data, far more user friendly than the basic reporting capabilities of native nuclear analysis software  and fully integrated with your multimodality service line clinical and operational data. 

  • Beyond stress and myocardial perfusion imaging, the Ascend nuclear cardiology module has full support for amyloid and inflammotory (e.g., sarcoid) imaging.

Why Advanced Imaging Centers Choose ASCEND: 

ASCEND covers cardiovascular care end -to -end, from the first diagnostic study through decades of follow-up. Every module shares the same look and behavior, and relevant data carries forward from any reporting system to any other — so reports come together faster and the patient's record reads as one continuous history instead of a stack of unconnected studies.
