Welcome

Aim

CVISOR is a secure international registry of cardiovascular imaging procedures, starting with clinical and cardiac computed tomography (CCT) modules. The primary object of the CVISOR is to enable imaging physicians and hospitals to collect clinical and imaging data on a routine basis to monitor and improve the quality of care and outcome of cardiovascular patients.  This objective will be met by undertaking local audits and by the users and large multi-centre data analysis leading to research publications. All data is stored on secure servers in Europe that are encrypted using 256-AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) at rest and TLS 1.2/1.3 (Transport Layer Security) during transit. The storage complies with the European GDPR standards and the US HIPAA standards for the storage of medical data.

Important Features

Features

Secure Log-in and Consent

  1. Secure user log-in with different levels of access (e.g., radiologists/cardiologists have access to all forms while radiographers only to procedural forms)

  2. Collect and store patients’ consent or enter anonymised data.

  3. Highest level of data security.  Any patient identifiable information is encrypted at rest and during transit.

​

​Clinical and Cardiac CT modules 

  1. Clinical module for the chest pain clinic that can be completed by nurses or doctors with automatic calculation of ESC PTP.

  2. Cardiac CT module with pre-procedural and procedural information that can be completed by the radiographers.

  3. Findings that can be entered by the reporting Radiologist or Cardiologist.

  4. Automatic calculation of calcium score percentile, CT cardiac angiogram (CTCA) atheroma burden, and CAD-RAD 2.0 grading.

  5. ​Ability to enter patient management and perform follow-up.

​

Filtered Reports and Security

  1. Clinical Reports on a click for Calcium scoring, CTCA, CTCA Bypass grafts, and CT TAVI assessment that can be incoporated on PACS or other software.

  2. Dashoboard to view local practice.

  3. Easily filtered reports for analysis on the number of patients scanned with different protocols, radiation dose, complications, diagnosis, etc.

Participation

participation

Participation in CVISOR is of two types

  1. Research: The data entered would be eligible for multi-centre analysis and research. No fees would be charged for this but would require commitments as given below.  

  2. Non-research/ Commercial: The data entered would be used only for producing imaging reports and performing local audits. This will incur a standard recurrent fees.

Research Participation Requirements

  1. Permission to collect patient data in CVISOR may be needed from the head of your service and/or R & D depending upon the local policies and regulations. This will be apart from the individual patient’s consent.

  2. Willingness and commitment to enter the clinical and imaging data appropriately on an ongoing basis to enable the collection of required data for analysis.

  3. Willingness to identify and input including results of downstream investigations (stress imaging, catheter angiogram, etc.) and further patient management (medical treatment, revascularisation, etc).

  4. Commitment to obtain patient follow-up with respect to acute coronary events and all-cause mortality using local/ national mechanisms or direct patient/family communication. The CVISOR will have a means to directly text/email patients at regular intervals where patients have provided their mobile numbers/ emails along with consent for follow-up.
