TeraRecon Showcases Advanced Imaging
Solutions at RSNA 2002
San Mateo, CA--December
2, 2002:
TeraRecon showcased three new advanced imaging solutions at the 2002
Radiological Society of North America Meeting, in Chicago, IL.
The PDLB display system is a super-high resolution
multi-panel display solution, offering up to 36 megapixels in a single
desktop display. PDLB provides a host of advanced image manipulation
and display features, including fully integrated 3D visualization
and instant access to large digital archives of image data. For the
first time, PDLB delivers the clinical benefits of 2D review, 3D,
and MIP/MPR in a unified digital display, compatible with placement
throughout the healthcare enterprise, as an alternative to the conventional
light-box.
The latest release of TeraRecon's Aquarius Workstation includes improved
application support and workflow refinements, implemented in response
to feedback from TeraRecon's extensive Luminary program at leading
medical institutions across the U.S. including Johns Hopkins Medical
Institutions, Stanford University Medical Center, University of California
at Los Angeles, University of California at San Francisco and Massachusetts
General Hospital. Aquarius Workstation Version 3.1 includes closer
integration with TeraRecon's AquariusNET server, allowing complete
3D scenes to be constructed on the Aquarius Workstation, and then
delivered to AquariusNET thin clients with all edits and volume rendering
settings intact, for clinicians and referring physicians to manipulate,
in the form prescribed by the reading radiologist. Aquarius Version
3.1 also includes enhanced Time-Volume Analysis tools, used for example
in the analysis of cardiac function, Time-Density Analysis tools,
enabling analysis of cerebral perfusion, and enhanced automation for
quantitative vascular analysis. Combined with TeraRecon's unparalleled
performance and image quality, these features bring the Aquarius Workstation
to a new level of clinical application.
For the first time, at RSNA 2002, TeraRecon introduced a fully integrated
3D CT scanner system for non-medical applications. The system features
integrated visualization and distribution, utilizing the technology
platform of the Aquarius Workstation and AquariusNET server. Potential
applications for this new CT scanning system include non-destructive
testing for quality control in manufacturing settings, intellectual
property protection in the field of microelectronics, laboratory animal
scanning in the field of biotechnology, high-level security inspection
and rapid prototyping.
RSNA 2002 sees the introduction of the VolumePro 1000 real-time 3D
visualization system in a short-form PCI format, capable of supporting
up to 1GB of volume memory, with a 2GB configuration becoming available
soon. This new short-form PCI option enables VolumePro to be used
in demanding volumetric visualization applications where space is
at a premium, such as compact ultrasound systems. The show also highlighted
new ultrasound and CT subsystems based on the XTrillion processor,
including the reconstruction subsystem of TeraRecon's own 3D CT scanner.
The scanner's ultra-fast 3D Cone-Beam CT Reconstruction performed
by the XTrillion processor in an array configuration. XTrillion also
offers such reconstruction performance for medical Multi-Detector
CT and MRI applications.
