Circle Cardiovascular Imaging Expands cvi42 Platform

Circle Cardiovascular Imaging (Circle CVI) has expanded its cvi42 cardiovascular imaging platform to include advanced vascular computed tomography (CT) analysis, further extending the platform’s capabilities across cardiovascular imaging workflows. The new solution came about through a collaboration with Astute Imaging, whose AI-driven vascular analysis technology has been integrated into the cvi42 ecosystem.

The addition of Vascular CT capabilities allows clinicians to analyze complex vascular anatomy for diagnosis, endovascular procedure planning, and post-treatment surveillance, all within the same platform used for cardiac imaging and structural heart planning, Circle CVI executives said.

Advancing Quantitative Cardiovascular Imaging

As healthcare systems increasingly adopt quantitative imaging and AI-enabled workflows, clinicians are seeking integrated platforms to support the full continuum of cardiovascular care — from diagnosis to procedural planning and long-term disease management.

The new Vascular CT capabilities extend the scope of cvi42 beyond cardiac imaging, enabling automated vascular analysis within the same environment, company officials said.

The technology powering these capabilities was developed by Astute Imaging, whose advanced algorithms support automated segmentation, quantification, and visualization of vascular structures.

“Fragmented imaging workflows can slow collaboration and decision making between cardiovascular teams,” Circle CVI Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kevin Steel stated. “By bringing vascular CT analysis into the cvi42 ecosystem, clinicians can work from the same platform across cardiac and vascular cases, helping improve efficiency and coordination of care.”

Cardiac and vascular analysis within a unified workflow helps multidisciplinary cardiovascular teams collaborate more effectively across cardiology, radiology, and vascular surgery.

Circle Cardiovascular Imaging Inc. is a Canadian-based company founded in 2007 to develop software solutions that enhance cardiovascular and cerebrovascular imaging analysis and ultimately improve patient care. Circle’s flagship platform, cvi42, delivers best-in-class image reading and reporting tools for quantitative and qualitative assessment of cardiac MR, cardiac CT, vascular CT, and neuro CT. Millions of medical imaging exams annually, across more than 1,700 hospitals in over 90 countries currently are interpreted using Circle’s cvi42 platform.

Astute Imaging Inc. is a U.S.-based company founded in 2022 that provides AI-enabled vascular imaging and care management software for healthcare providers and medtech companies. Astute Imaging delivers a fully automated, AI-enabled workflow supporting diagnostics, surgical planning, and longitudinal patient follow-up. The platform covers all major vascular anatomies, including the aorta, carotid arteries, and peripheral vasculature. In addition, Astute Imaging provides AI-enabled virtual device simulation that allows surgeons to visualize and automatically identify the most appropriate device for a patient’s anatomy, enabling highly personalized procedural planning and care management. Astute Imaging’s technology is also used by medical device companies for regulatory and research applications, including core lab services and R&D support.
