Overview

MIStar® is a multi-modality, multi-module and multi-purpose software package with a broad spectrum of functionalities ranging from the very basic image visualization/analysis to the most advanced functions such as whole body perfusion, multi-modality image fusion and diffusion tensor Imaging.

MIStar® supports various manufacturer-dependent advanced protocols. It can run on existing OEM/PACS workstations, or on stand alone desktop or laptop PCs. It provides streamlined workflow with an intuitive interface.

System Requirements

MIStar® is very efficient in handling large amout of imaging data. It effectively turns a desktop and laptop PC into a powerful workstation. The minimum system requirements are:

  • OS: 64bit Windows 7/10/11 or Server 2012/2016/2019/2022;
  • CPU: Intel Core i3+ or equivalent (4+ CPU threads);
  • RAM: 4GB+ (recommend 8GB+);
  • Disk space: ~250MB for software installation (recommend 500GB+ for image data);
  • Monitor: Single or multiple color LEDs (1280x800 or higher);
  • Standard yeyboard & mouse;
  • Standard network (recommend Gigabit LAN);
* Supports Apple/MacOS system running Windows in VM mode or Bootcamp.

Note: The 32-bit version of MIStar will reach its end of support in 2021 and we will no longer deply or support 32-bit MIStar from 2022 onward. Users may continue using their existing 32-bit MIStar installations without further support or feature update. Please contact your MIStar supplier for 64-bit upgrade options or special arrangements.
