Press ReleasesPhiladelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and TeraRecon announce luminary relationship San Mateo, CA--August 3, 2004: TeraRecon announced today it has entered into a luminary site agreement with Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). PCOM will use TeraRecon's UF-750XT portable color Doppler Ultrasound systems for clinical practice, research applications, and hands-on teaching of ultrasound imaging techniques to radiologists, osteopathic physicians, and medical students. Ultrasound is being widely adopted by Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) in the assessment and visualization of the musculoskeletal system. Ultrasound imaging assists the physician in the rapid evaluation of soft tissue, tendon, ligament and muscle injuries.
