Press ReleasesUCSF utilizes TeraRecon's advanced imaging 3D Aquarius Workstation San Mateo, CA--November 19, 2002: TeraRecon announced it has signed an agreement with University California San Francisco Medical Center for its real time advanced 3D Aquarius Workstation. UCSF utilizes TeraRecon's Aquarius Workstation where there is a need to better visualize and interact with large3D imaging studies acquired from multi-detector CT and MR scanners. Important clinical applications utilizing TeraRecon's Aquarius Workstation for UCSF include evaluation of patients with suspected stroke, cerebral aneurysms and abdominal aneurysms, orthopedic fractures, and disorders of the spine. The advancement of multi-detector CT scanners requires the display and reformation of large datasets of images in a time efficient manner so that clinicians and radiologists may use these for surgical planning and therapeutic procedures. At UCSF, the Aquarius workstation is routinely used for secondary diagnosis, batch reformations, and study review by a variety of clinical disciplines within UCSF. " The Aquarius Workstation presents surgeons a detailed 3D view of surgical anatomy as they will encounter it in the surgical setting" states Dr. William Dillon, Professor of Radiology and Chief of Neuroradiology at UCSF. "TeraRecon's workstation compliments our MDCT scanners by providing us a powerful means for time-efficient display and manipulation of large CT and MR datasets in 3 dimensions. The "real-time" manipulation of these studies in 3D has proven to be an excellent educational tool and provides a therapeutic advantage for viewing regions of complicated anatomy and pathology." " Radiologists are oriented to view cross-sectional images whereas clinicians are oriented to view 3D structures when viewing anatomy. TeraRecon's Workstation helps bridge the gap between these different orientations," states Dr. Dillon. "By partnering with UCSF with the installation of Aquarius Workstation, TeraRecon's products will be utilized by one of the leading medical institutions in the US. Our workstation products provide the most advanced clinical imaging applications for huge datasets produced by today's imaging modalities, combined with the advanced review tools necessary to efficiently perform diagnostic reading of these studies with potentially thousands of images" states Dr. Robert Taylor, COO of TeraRecon.
