Executive Summary of “Improved visualization of peripherally inserted central catheters on chest radiographs of neonates using fractional multiscale image processing,” published in BMC Medical Imaging

A study evaluating the ability of image processing to improve the visualization of central catheter tip positioning in newborns was recently published in BMC Medical Imaging. The authors found that Agfa’s  MUSICA Catheter Processing with Fractional Multiscale Processing (FMP) technology significantly improved the perception of low contrast PICC line tips in digital chest X-rays, compared to standard image processing.

MUSICA Catheter Processing offers an effective means to improve reading quality in neonatal imaging.
