Press ReleasesUniversity of Florida Health Science Center and TeraRecon announce 3D Training Workshops San Mateo, CA--July 26, 2004: University of Florida Health Science Center Jacksonville announced that they have entered into an agreement with TeraRecon, Inc. to offer hands-on training courses for 3D imaging and advanced post-processing of large thin-slice CT and MR datasets using TeraRecon's Aquarius Workstations and AquariusNET Server. 4-day courses are designed to teach physicians and technologists how to acquire images, post-process large volume datasets with the latest 3D imaging workstations, with participants reviewing cases with faculty. Having established a successful advanced 3D imaging lab, instructors will lecture on how to efficiently achieve clinical results, demonstrate the full range of advanced imaging techniques, discuss 3D reimbursements, and interactively review case studies on advanced workstations. In addition, a separate 2-day training course will be offered dedicated solely to virtual colonoscopy. Donna Wefers, Director of the Advanced Imaging Lab at University of Florida states; "In order to realize the full potential of state-of-the-art CT and MR scanners, the ability of physicians and technologists to effective use advanced post-processing tools is fundamental for accurate image review, efficient workflow practices, and improved patient care. The requirement from the radiology community to understand the latest post-processing techniques has become a critical educational issue for radiologists and technologists who interpret and/or produce images acquired from modern CT and MR scanners. TeraRecon offers advanced imaging diagnostic workstations with a full suite of clinical analysis tools and a uniquely powerful server capable of delivering 3D interactive processing directly into the clinical workflow. Course participants will learn the latest clinical post-processing techniques on advanced workstations designed for modern CT and MR scanners."
