TeraRecon announces VolumePro 1000,
the new standard in 3D medical imaging
San Mateo, CA--October
16, 2001: TeraRecon
announced the immediate availability
of the VolumePro® 1000, its revolutionary true real time 3D volume
rendering hardware solution. VolumePro® patented technology provides
the highest image quality, real time performance, and advanced image
processing features required for the next generation imaging workstations
and CT, MR, EBT, Ultrasound and PET scanners. Targeted to medical
imaging manufacturers and system integrators, VolumePro® 1000
establishes a new standard for achieving high performance and unsurpassed
image quality. TeraRecon will showcase this breakthrough technology
at booth #8525 at RSNA in Chicago November 25-29.
"VolumePro® 1000 is a significant technological
advance in the field of 3D medical imaging," said Jamie Jacobs, COO
and Executive Vice President of TeraRecon. "By simultaneously raising
the bar for image quality, performance, and rich image processing
features, TeraRecon's VolumePro® 1000 offers the only no-compromise
real time 3D medical imaging solution on the market today."
VolumePro® 1000's dramatic advances
in image quality are achieved through its patented implementation
of advanced gradient lighting and ray-per-pixel ray casting algorithm.
VolumePro® 1000 achieves real time interactive performance for
medical images as large as 512 CT slices. Up to 2GB of volume data
can be visualized and manipulated on a single PCI board and multiple
boards can work in concert to handle the most demanding data. VolumePro®'s
advanced feature set includes 32 bit data for multi-channel rendering,
image fusion, and powerful data segmentation. And for the first time
in real time, surface and voxel information can be seamlessly integrated.
VolumePro® 3D imaging technology has
the power and scalability to outpace advances in spatial resolution
and slice counts for modern multi-detector CT and other modality scanners.
VolumePro® 1000 comes with an OEM development kit, which enables
developers to quickly evaluate, prototype, and integrate VolumePro®
1000 with user applications and systems.
