TeraRecon showcases usability enhancements & advanced new features for Aquarius product line at RSNA 2003

San Mateo, CA--November 29, 2003: TeraRecon announced its newly enhanced Aquarius line of products for advanced radiology image management at the 89th annual Radiological Society of North America meeting, McCormick Place, Chicago IL. The company is showcasing the latest innovations in its award-winning line of Personal Digital Light Box (PDLB) displays, AquariusBLUE entry-level 3D processing stations, advanced Aquarius Workstations, and the AquariusNET enterprise server for 3D image processing.

The enhancements to the usability, capability and performance of both the AquariusNET and Aquarius Workstation products further reinforce TeraRecon's position as a solutions provider for advanced diagnostic imaging needs in radiology. The portfolio of products, from unique large-format displays, to enterprise AquariusNET Servers for user-friendly, workflow based 3D, to Aquarius Workstations for specific advanced clinical protocols, provide a broad and comprehensive resource on which TeraRecon can draw to configure the best implementation for each individual radiology facility's needs, at an appropriate but always highly competitive price.

The Aquarius Workstation version 3.2 features significant improvements to usability and diagnostic workflow. All updates and new modules are available to customers with current Aquarius Workstation Gold Maintenance coverage, while customers with Aquarius Workstation Standard Maintenance coverage may access updates for the basic workstation and modules they currently own. Enhancements include:

  • Faster loading - even 1500 slice run-off examinations will now load in seconds
  • Clinical Protocols - time-saving automation of appropriate clinical views
  • Better unification with AquariusNET Client user interface
  • "Cube View" review for fast 3D interrogation of a volume of interest
  • SAT (Segmentation Analysis and Tracking) - Mass and nodule analysis
  • TDA (Time-Density Analysis) - e.g. analysis of brain tissue perfusion
  • TVA (Time-Volume Analysis) - e.g. change in left ventricle volume with time
  • VAT (Vascular Analysis Tool) - new tools for aneurysm sac volume and leaks

The AquariusNET Client and Server have also been enhanced, with Client enhancements also available on AquariusBLUE. All updates are available to customers with current AquariusNET or AquariusBLUE Standard or Gold Maintenance coverage. New features in version 1.3 of these products include:

  • "Cube View" review for fast 3D interrogation of a volume of interest
  • Better user interface unification with the Aquarius Workstation
  • Advanced support for multi-modality overlay, such as CT/PET
  • Advanced support for multi-phase CT and MR examinations
  • New tools for batch output and movie scripting
  • "Cluster Mode" - AquariusNET Servers intelligently share resources to meet demand

PDLB is on display in 2x21" and 4x21" configurations, for direct radiologist use, and also in an integrated 8x15", self-contained form factor suitable for wall-based situations. The latter configuration promises to soon provide a viable digital solution to the perennial obstacle to totally filmless radiology operation: the use of film by surgery.
