Press ReleasesTeraRecon, Inc. Announces Luminary Relationship with Wake Forest University School of Medicine San Mateo, CA--September 6, 2005: Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, NC has become a luminary site for TeraRecon, Inc., adopting its Aquarius products for processing CT, MR, and PET images. Radiologists and clinicians, as well as researchers in Wake Forest's Center for Biomolecular Imaging (CBI), now use TeraRecon systems routinely to visualize, analyze, and edit complex three-dimensional image data. CBI serves the ever- increasing demand of basic science researchers for imaging technologies to aid in their imaging research activities including its work in regenerative medicine, the research of ‘growing’ human organs. TeraRecon’s product platform serves as
CBI’s manipulation platform for clinical and basic science image
analysis and image reconstruction. In addition to using Aquarius products
in routine clinical practice, Wake Forest medical students are able
to learn anatomy by individually interacting with CT data acquired
from cadavers using the AquariusNET thin client system in their anatomy
classes. The AquariusNET server maximizes the utility of MDCT, MR and other medical imaging data throughout the enterprise using a central 3D processing server delivering real-time interactive 3D imaging to networked PCs running the AquariusNET thin-client application. The Aquarius Workstation is an advanced diagnostic workstation that offers a comprehensive suite of 3D workflow tools used to reconstruct and edit images acquired from modern CT and MR scanners. “Allowing medical students to learn anatomy by allowing virtual dissections represents a real technological advancement in the way students are taught anatomy,” according to Dr Allen Elster, Professor and Chairman of Radiology at Wake Forest. “TeraRecon’s AquariusNET server system offers students a virtual interactive tour of each area of the body by applying advanced imaging technologies that were just not possible until recently”. “TeraRecon’s platform will allow us to be at the forefront of an exciting new field of regenerative medicine. In the twenty years I have negotiated our equipment purchases, I can’t remember a company that has had the combination of superior product and outstanding management, sales and application personnel that TeraRecon enjoys” states Dr Kerry Link, Director - Center for Biomolecular Imaging.
