Press ReleasesTeraRecon, University of Mississippi Medical Center sign agreement for advanced 3D San Mateo, CA--November 29, 2003: TeraRecon announced it has signed an agreement with University of Mississippi Medical Center (Jackson, MS)) to deploy its advanced Aquarius Workstations and AquariusNET 3D enterprise servers. UMMC radiology department utilizes Aquarius Workstations with their CT and MR scanners to explore 3D reconstructions for CT and MR angiography of pulmonary, cranial, and renal vasculature. UMMC also uses 3D reconstructions for planning treatments for the minimally invasive surgery program developing cryosurgery and interstitial laser therapy for solid organ malignancies, traumatic injuries to blood vessels. AquariusNET 3D enterprise server will bring 3D imaging capabilities beyond the radiology department, to clinicians in the OR, ER, ICU areas where there is a need to visualize and interact with imaging studies that require 3D volumes to be visualized relative to their critical structures. AquariusNET makes advanced image review possible throughout the enterprise through installation of a simple client application on any standard desktop or notebook PCs. "UMMC intends to implement total digital filmless imaging solutions throughout the entire medical center," states Dr. Gurmeet Dhillon, Chief Neuroradiologist. "Everyone who reads studies needs the workstation's capabilities as radiologists and clinicians can not continue to read film as the scanned volumes are so large. We intend to bring the benefits of real time 3D review to the surgical lab and integrate it will all UMMC's modalities." "There is a tremendous amount of scanned data not conveyable in written reports," continues Dr. Dhillion. "To be able to present the 3D reconstructions to surgeons and referring physicians provides them a better understanding of pre and intra operative planning and therapeutic procedures. 3D reconstructions increase the confidence of the diagnosis and bring enhanced clinical interactions with the radiology department." "By partnering with UMMC with the installation of Aquarius Workstations and AquariusNET servers, TeraRecon's products will be utilized by one of the leading medical institutions in the US, states Dr. Robert Taylor, COO of TeraRecon. "Our enterprise server provides for the efficient distribution of huge datasets and is a powerful step forward in enhancing clinical interactions with the radiology department. These products provide the speed and image quality to acquire, transfer and build 3D volume models in ways not possible before," About TeraRecon, Inc. Contact:
