TeraRecon Introduces Networked Cone Beam CT Scanner at RSNA

San Mateo, CA-- November 29, 2003: TeraRecon announced the introduction of the company's Networked Cone Beam CT scanner at the 89th annual Radiological Society of North America meeting, McCormick Place, Chicago IL. The scanner is targeted at the Micro-CT and small animal scanning markets, and is a complete stand-alone system, incorporating a micro-focus x-ray tube, a mega-pixel resolution flat panel detector, TeraRecon's unique XTrillion processor-based reconstruction engine, and networked 3D image distribution based on the company's AquariusNET server technology.

This advanced, fully-integrated Cone Beam X-Ray CT system offers a complete imaging pipeline from data acquisition to image correction, image reconstruction, 3D visualization, and distributed viewing. Through optimized system integration, the interface to the CT scanner has been reduced to a simple secure network connection, enhancing both portability and flexibility.

This innovative approach provides the ability for multiple PC users to share scanner resources across an enterprise-wide LAN, through real-time streaming of high-resolution 3D reconstructed images and an intuitive user interface. Organized for large-scale data handling and reconstruction of volumes up to and beyond 1024 cubed at high-speed, this Cone Beam CT scanner is powered by TeraRecon's XTrillion multiprocessor reconstruction solution. The scanning system provides all the necessary hardware and software for end-to-end functionality. At a touch of a button, an object can be scanned, reconstructed, and images fully rendered for visualization within minutes. Results can simultaneously be distributed to remote standard PCs anywhere on the network.

The modular design and small footprint allows for easy integration into any environment. The scanner provides high scanning throughput and true isotropic volume reconstruction.
