DATA ACQUISITION SOFTWARE FOR PRESSURE MYOGRAPH SYSTEMS

FEATURES & BENEFITS

1. Recording and saving of video files and synchronized data collection feature
2. Monitor multiple different sections of the same Vessel
3. ​Calculated parameters such as shear stress and vascular resistance 
4. Trace recording data for more than 18 recorded and calculated parameters including flow Measurements 
5. Highly improved Event markers features to track manipulations during the experiment 
6. Highly improved Data Analysis features and easy export of data to Excel and CSV-files          

The core function of the MyoVIEW is to acquire diameter measurements from pressurized vessels. The dimensioning software offers an extremely flexible, powerful acquisition platform with more precise control and enhanced functionality.

MyoVIEW promises to simplify, as well as improve, data acquisition whether the experiments involve using pharmacology, investigating mechanisms related to myogenic responses, or unveiling vasculopathies involving defects inflow- or shear stress-mediated dilation.

FEATURES OF MyoVIEW 

• Multiple imaging windows – allows the measurement of multiple different regions simultaneously. 

• Line-averaging - unlike conventional “edge detection”, where contrast information is evaluated on a single line, MyoVIEW averages contrast over all of the lines within a user-defined region to minimize the contribution of contrast variances. Images no longer need to be super-saturated or blurred to drown out the contrast from remnants of blood, fat, folding, etc., making diameter measurements easier and more accurate. 
• Tracking algorithm - improved user-interface feature that allows precise control of image contrast and brightness thresholds for more accurate and reliable edge detection. 
• Real-time calculations and tracking of:
  • Inner and outer vascular diameters
  • Left, right and average wall thickness
  • Inner and outer cross-sectional areas
  • Media to lumen ratios
  • Flow
  • Vascular resistance
  • Shear stress

          
  
IMPROVEMENTS IN MYOVIEW

• Recording and saving of video files of the experiment  
  The video files of the mounted vessel can be saved together with all the parameter traces of an experiment. The video can be saved in three different video qualities. The videos can be used to verify the parameter traces or to re-analyse the experiment.

• Synchronized data collection feature
  This feature allows the user to record all data in MyoVIEW as synchronized data sets where all recorded parameters have the same time-stamp.         
• Multiple Imaging Windows
  Having the flexibility of measuring multiple different regions of a mounted vessel means that interesting vascular anomalies and variability in a single preparation can be measured and observed. 
• Line-Averaging 
  The algorithm used for edge detection improves edge tracking, especially in vessels that are harder to completely "clean", decreasing the likelihood of having to "throw away data" because of poor imaging and tracking, thereby increasing productivity. 
• Integrated Flow Measurements
  Previous flow software was run simultaneously with dimension analysis, making data collection complicated and tedious, having to "flip" between 2 separate program windows to monitor experimental progress. MyoVIEW has integrated the flow measurement tasks with the dimensioning tasks so that ALL collected pressure myography data are in a single file. 
• Trace Recordings 
  Data from previous dimensioning software had to either be recorded by hand or dumped into a tedious Excel sheet. The new Trace Recordings feature allows all measured and calculated parameters to be saved as trace data, simplifying data analysis in the end. 
• Data Analysis
  Data analysis has been improved tremendously in MyoVIEW. Data of interest is simply marked on traces and transferred to the Data Sheet by a single click.
• Data export
  All data in the Data Sheet can easily be exported to an Excel file or a comma separated file (csv) by a single operation.
• Event Markers
  Highly improved Event Markers feature complements the Trace Recordings feature by allowing the user to more precisely and accurately record events, changes or additions during the experiment, eliminating the need to mark time and events separately. 
• Flexible user interface set-up
  MyoVIEW is based on the well known Microsoft user interface making MyoVIEW easy and intuitive for the user to work with. The user interface can easily be customized to get the optimal layout for the user.
