Hermes Medical Solutions enhances Hermia software with Centiloid scale for advanced brain imaging
Stockholm, Sweden – July 3, 2025 – Hermes Medical Solutions (HMS), a global leader in molecular imaging and dosimetry software, announces the latest CE-marked release* of its flagship platform, Hermia, featuring new capabilities designed to elevate precision, standardization, and efficiency in nuclear medicine.
A major highlight of this release is the integration of the Centiloid scale, a standardized method for quantifying amyloid PET imaging results. The Centiloid scale offers clinicians a consistent 0–100 range to interpret amyloid plaque burden, anchored by young healthy controls (Centiloid value = 0) and typical Alzheimer’s disease patients (Centiloid value = 100) [1].
“We are excited to introduce the Centiloid scale into our offering, anchoring Hermes Medical Solutions at the forefront of brain imaging,” said Tom Francke, CEO.
With this update, clinicians can now:
- Interpret amyloid PET results across different tracers and protocols using a unified standard.
- Enhance patient selection and treatment monitoring through improved comparability of quantitative imaging.
- Optimize FDG brain scan analysis with on-the-fly normalization method changes, supported by side-by-side 3D visualizations of deviation images.
- Simultaneously display regions of both hyper- and hypometabolism in FDG brain scans for richer diagnostic context.
- Analyze novel 3D digital SPECT/CT images with extended visualization and comparison capabilities.
In addition, Hermia now supports loading CT-based anatomical regions for organ dosimetry. Users can seamlessly integrate external segmentation software with automatic region delineation and alignment, significantly streamlining the dosimetry workflow.
The release also brings enhanced manual motion correction tools for planar dynamic images, particularly benefiting renogram acquisitions where patient motion can impact image quality.
This latest version of Hermia continues HMS’s commitment to supporting clinicians with powerful, vendor-neutral tools for accurate diagnostics and efficient workflows—regardless of scanner type or radiopharmaceutical used.
