TeraRecon Announces 100% Annual Sales Order Growth for Aquarius Products

San Mateo, CA--March 28, 2005: TeraRecon announced today that the company’s US-headquartered Aquarius 3D workstation and server operations, which covers global operations excluding Japan, have achieved over 100% annual sales order growth for the fiscal year ended December 31st, 2004 compared with the same period a year earlier.

“Strong demand for TeraRecon’s advanced 3D medical imaging products is being driven by user need for more powerful clinical application tools capable of manipulating large thin-slice datasets generated from modern Multi-Detector CT and MRI scanners” said Robert Taylor, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer of TeraRecon, “These trends have fueled the rapid adoption of Aquarius technologies by users of MDCT and Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) systems.”

The AquariusNET Server 3D thin-client is designed for PACS integration using a simple Application Programming Interface (API) to achieve a common patient worklist. The AquariusNET Server (API) integration is currently offered by Agfa, AMICAS, Delft Diagnostic Imaging (Rogan–Delft), Dynamic Imaging, Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd., Intelerad Medical Systems, Stentor, Sectra PACS, and Yokogawa Electric Corporation.
