Health Imaging & IT - October 2007 - (Page S2) When increasing or decreasing the size of logo, always scale proportionately. Smallest size should not fall below 1/2" (inch) to preserve quality and appearance. The CMYK logo treatment should be used in situations where 4 Color process is the chosen means for printing. Use best judgement to decide which logo (1 or 2) will suit the situation presented. TERARECON LOGO 1 USAGE GUIDELINES: This logo should be used in situations where the background color is NOT white (unless proper approval is given or specified). Best appearance will result when the logo is placed against dark color backgrounds and include, but are not limited to the blue and black color spectrums, as well as any dark colors that contain 50% and higher of one or more of the following: Magenta (M), Black (K) and Cyan (C). TERARECON LOGO 2 USAGE GUIDELINES: This logo should be used in situations where the background color is NOT within the same blue color spectrum as lthe logo gradient box and should NOT be placed against a black background (unless proper approval is given or specified). Best appearance will result when the logo is placed against a white or light color background and include, but are not limited to colors that are 50% or less in one or more of the followoing: Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), and Black (K).

Many workstations are unable to load all phases of the CTA study into active memory. It is essential for accurate diagnosis that a workstation support fast loading of all the ECG-phases as well as interactive switching between them during diagnostic review. TeraRecon’s Aquarius Workstation employs both a software and unique hardware solution (VolumePro board) to manage large CTA datasets with the ability to seamlessly (and in a straightforward manner) page through the phases at any given anatomic site to arrive at the one which represents the least or absent motion artifact. Enterprise 3D Workflow Today & Tomorrow - Interviews with TeraRecon leadership and luminaries. Any image, anywhere, any time. In 1991, the first viable PACS to make diagnostic images available for viewing wherever they were needed within radiology was designed upon this premise. Ten years later, in 2001, TeraRecon introduced the revolutionary concept of allowing 3D volumetric review of CT and MR studies to be reviewed – economically – throughout the healthcare enterprise. The AquariusNET™ server-client visualization system empowered physicians using ordinary PCs containing a small client application with the ability to remotely display and interactively manipulate large CTA or MRA datasets. It provided a scalable, real-time, and centrally shared rendering resource that enabled an unlimited number of concurrent thin client PC users. With this unique innovation, TeraRecon launched a new global trend in medical image post-processing. By removing physician access constraints, AquariusNET has stimulated the widespread adoption of 3D volumetric image review for CTA and MRA, and has become an essential tool for enabling image interpretation by providing remote access to advanced clinical applications and powerful 3D interactive visualization tools. The elegance of the centralized processing architecture 2 is its ability to extend “server–side” processing capabilities immediately to all “client-side” users throughout the enterprise. It leverages an expensive infrastructure investment by making the 3D tools available without the need for expanding existing network bandwidth, additional hardware costs, or expensive user licensing fees. PACS are designed to distribute images, but few have the network infrastructure to efficiently move multi-gigabyte volume datasets, especially if these studies need to be transferred over an already busy hospital network backbone to multiple locations. Furthermore, 3D workstations or web servers connected on a PACS don’t possess the computationally intensive processing hardware needed to manage 3D post-processing once the studies arrive at their destination. Until thin client technology was introduced, 3D dedicated workstations were the only means by which multi-detector CT, MRI and PET/CT procedures could be efficiently interpreted and reviewed. With TeraRecon’s thin client architecture, dedicated workstations are used by technologists for quality assurance after receiving automatically preprocessed images. The technologist provides clinical measurements, applies analysis function, and ultimately validates the preprocessed reEnterprise 3D Workflow w w w. t e r a re c o n . c o m http://www.terarecon.com http://www.theplc.net http://www.cvcta.com http://www.terarecon.com
