RTViz introduces VolumePro Net network 2D/3D imaging engine for hospital workgroups

San Mateo, CA--November 26, 2000: Real Time Visualization (RTViz) today introduced VolumePro® NET, a shared visualization engine that serves real-time 2D/3D images simultaneously to desktop computers over a hospital network.

VolumePro® Net combines the high performance, superior image quality and collaboration capabilities of high-end 3D workstations with the cost-effectiveness, scalability, and location independence of software-only solutions. VolumePro® NET is intended to address the growing need for high performance real-time 3D visualization for clinical specialties.

"VolumePro® Net is providing the infrastructure to proliferate interactive, high quality 3D images throughout the hospital," says RTViz General Manager Jamie Jacobs. "It will deliver workstation performance to the physician's desktop or laptop computer."

Ubiquitous 3D - VolumePro® NET brings the power of a real-time 3D workstation to the physician's desktop or laptop computer. The product enables collaboration by allowing a 3D study to be manipulated and annotated on one station and simultaneously viewed on other computers on the net.

Scalability, Performance and Image Quality: VolumePro® NET can be scaled to serve the imaging needs of any size workgroup. VolumePro® NET is designed to intelligently manage imaging sessions to maximize performance and enhance image quality.

VolumePro Family: The VolumePro® family provides a continuum of medical imaging solutions, starting with the award- winning VolumePro® 500 for dedicated high performance workstations and, now, extending to network imaging with VolumePro® NET. All members of the VolumePro® family have the same application-programming interface (API) so that applications running on VolumePro® 500 can easily be ported to VolumePro® Net. The API is written for both C++ and Java clients.

Enabling New Clinical Applications
For the OEM, VolumePro® Net is available with customizable Network Visualization Client/Server (NVCS) software. This software provides the framework for the creation of new collaborative clinical applications.

Benefits:

  • Highly interactive 3D imaging on any computer
  • Diagnostic imaging quality
  • Enhances collaboration and communication between radiology and clinical specialists
  • Scalable to meet workgroup imaging needs
  • Seamless integration into existing hospital networks
  • Cost-effective workgroup solutions
