New Version of Hermia Voxel Dosimetry Software Enhances Efficiency and Accuracy

Hermes Medical Solutions, a leading developer in the medical imaging field, has announced the release of a new version of its Hermia Voxel Dosimetry software. The updated software aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of radiation dose estimation in nuclear medicine studies.

The new version includes several notable features. Deformable registration has been added, which allows for better alignment, accommodating patient movement and breathing corrections. This feature is intended to enhance the software's ability to provide more accurate results, even in dynamic situations.

Another significant addition is semiautomatic organ segmentation, achieved through a machine learning-based algorithm. This feature streamlines the segmentation process, making it faster and more precise.

The software now also offers automated workflow configuration options, further improving efficiency. This feature allows users to set up and run their studies with minimal manual intervention, saving time and reducing the potential for human error.

The product, which previously received CE marking, has also received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 2021, Hermes Medical Solutions received FDA approval for the new version of the Hermia Voxel Dosimetry software for medical imaging and radiation dose calculation.

In addition to these enhancements for clinical use, the software now includes new features for research purposes. These include dose rate calculations, the ability to add isotopes, and surrogate isotope calculations. These features expand the software's capabilities, making it a more versatile tool for researchers in the field of nuclear medicine.

The new version of the software also boasts reduced calculation times and improved noise sensitivity. Furthermore, it has an enhanced ability to fill in information automatically from the header, making it easier for users to manage their studies.

Lastly, the software is now compatible with Spectrum Dynamics Quantitative SPECT, expanding its compatibility with various medical imaging systems.

With these new features, the updated Hermia Voxel Dosimetry software promises to be a valuable tool for both clinical practitioners and researchers in the field of nuclear medicine, providing improved accuracy, efficiency, and versatility.
