GIQuant®

Motilent

GIQuant is a post processing application which uses image registration to quantify motion in dynamic abdominal MR imaging data. GIQuant outputs a parametric map that can be used by physicians to obtain specialized measurements and perform advance analysis of the bowel wall.

GIQuant is integrated within a DICOM compliant workflow server and the output can be viewed in standard 'off the shelf' DICOM viewers.
