Pie Medical Imaging has received FDA clearance for its cardiovascular angiography analysis system (CAAS) MR Flow.

The Maastricht, the Netherlands-based Pie said its CAAS MR Flow software enables health professionals to perform analysis of phase-contrast angiography (PCA) MR images. PCA images are used for quantitative assessment of blood flow and velocity.
