Breast MR Imaging Workstation Has Real-Time 4D Image-Processing Capabilities

A new breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) workstation provides real-time four-dimensional (4D) image processing, combining the speed and flexibility of a 3D visualization workstation with dedicated breast MRI algorithms, including kinetic curves, color maps, and customizable reports.

Improving the ability to process efficiently MR images used for breast cancer analysis, the Aegis breast imaging workstation is now available with Toshiba Medical Systems' (Tokyo, Japan) MR products. The Aegis workstation was developed with the distinct needs of radiologists and technologists in mind, offering flexibility and workflow efficiency.


Powerful software and hardware technology provides the clinician with real-time interactive control of large dynamic datasets, as well as analysis driven by true, real-time 3D visualization of any dataset in any orientation. The technology provides advanced hanging protocols, automated reporting, interventional accuracy, dynamic real-time processing, and interventional guidance to multiple targets.

"The ability of the Aegis breast imaging workstation to identify potential areas of concern is significantly improving the ability of MR to diagnose breast cancer,” explained Doug Ryan, vice president, marketing and strategic development, Toshiba. "Combining this workstation with the capabilities of the Vantage MR systems creates an advanced breast diagnostic tool.”
