EVINCI study: Management, integration and communication of clinical and imaging data

The EVINCI European study (Evaluation of INtegrated Cardiac Imaging for the Detection, Characterization and Monitoring of Ischemic Heart Disease - number 222915) aims to evaluate the impact of a combined non-invasive anatomo-functional cardiac imaging strategy on the detection and management of ischemic heart disease (700 scheduled patients among 17 centers and 9 Countries). To reach this purpose for each patient we collected clinical, biohumoral, functional and anatomical imaging data. The large and complex amount of data required a dedicated technological work package for managing, integrating and reporting them in order to support medical decision and communication. We focused on the development of a system oriented to save and handle information, store raw images and to provide tools for imaging integration, multimodal reporting and educational purposes.
