The foundation of TeraRecon's ability to offer fast parallel backend image reconstruction comes from the innovative HISC (Hierarchical Instruction Set Computing) processor technology. XTrillion is a proprietary, highly parallel, and scalable processor that is specifically designed for fast image reconstruction. Using the XTrillion's extraordinary speed and efficiency, TeraRecon's products use standard PC platforms to implement reconstruction algorithms on special hardware, without sacrificing performance.

Placing multiple processors side by side, TeraRecon uses up to 16 processors on a single PCI board, capable of CT and ultrasound image reconstruction at rates up to 10 times faster than other existing image reconstruction systems. An important advantage of fast reconstruction is support for raw data storage and immediate image reconstruction with changing parameters. Another big advantage is that the technology has significantly advanced for acquiring and generating data, creating higher performance needs for faster image reconstruction.

While maintaining advanced real-time data handling functions, TeraRecon's subsystem performs all image-processing algorithms on the software level. The architecture of this software base allows the addition of functions, such as the integration of images obtained from diagnostic 3D image display devices on the software level, dramatically reducing development time and cost. TeraRecon's subsystem allows augmentation without alteration of the hardware, keeping all upgrades at the software level.

In addition to augmenting the algorithm by software, by adding as many XTrillion processors as needed to the system, TeraRecon can offer completely scalable systems. This unique architecture makes TeraRecon systems easy to customize.
