CT Software Provides Advanced Visualization and Dual-Energy Processing

Highlights of new imaging software include full cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) workflow support, dual-energy processing, zero-click ‘AutoBatch' processing, enterprise distribution from a fully ‘browser-native' web client, and implementations of oncology and perfusion applications, all from a fully client-server architecture without requiring ‘remote control' of standalone workstations to achieve distributed access to applications.

TeraRecon, Inc. (San Mateo, CA, USA), a leading provider of advanced visualization and interpretation software, is accelerating deployment of its Aquarius iNtuition range of advanced visualization products to new and installed-base customers, due to the adoption of a new engineering methodology.

"Since its initial release, sales of iNtuition have been extremely strong, driving the double-digit Aquarius revenue growth we enjoyed in 2007 vs. 2006 and the positive sales trend we have seen in 2008 to date. It is clearly the preferred solution for our advanced visualization customers. Now, with the release of iNtuition version 4.3, which is already successfully deployed in many tens of sites, iNtuition is providing an even higher level of diagnostic support from a completely thin-client platform as well as advanced workflow automation previously not available in the industry,” said Robert Taylor, Ph.D., president and chief operating officer. "The feedback about the new iNtuition release has been extremely positive, and we are now fully engaged to extend our lead in terms of clinical functionality, now that we have established what is without question the best and most fully-capable client-server architecture available in the world today.”

In addition, Aquarius iNtuition 4.3 software includes an exciting new product form-factor, the iNtuition "DUO” server. Jeff Sorenson, vice president of sales, USA and Canada, explained, "The iNtuition DUO is a two-user server solution that is affordable, yet scalable and built upon our true client-server architecture. The system is capable of opening a study comprised of over 6,000 slices to accommodate the most demanding clinical needs and includes all available clinical functionality without compromises. iNtuition DUO increases TeraRecon's addressable market by providing a compelling alternative to the bundled OEM [original equipment manufacturer] CT or MR [magnetic resonance] workstation, which offers more functionality and ‘anywhere' access at the price of a single workstation. In today's environment, there is virtually no case where a single workstation with a CT or MR scanner is adequate to meet the clinical need, and by combining multiple users with the flexibility of true client-server architecture, we are confident this product will be very popular as an alternative to the advanced visualization offerings normally bundled with imaging modalities.”

TeraRecon, a developer of advanced image processing and three-dimensional (3D) visualization techniques, provides imaging systems for medical and other visualization applications based on its unique and patented image-processing technologies.
