TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW Rendoscopy (Booth 4787) is demonstrating its new angiography and virtual colonoscopy applications. The angiography tool provides automated segmentation of the entire vessel tree, automated track ﬁnding and analysis, automated curved MPR with 2D and 3D image correlation, and volume and surface rendering of segmented vessels. A 3D virtual colonoscopy solution facilities can handle up to 1,000 cases per day without manual interaction. A multi-path tracking system automatically displays the number of tracks entered in the application preferences, while a single screen displays cross-sectional information. ScImage (Booth 2551) is spotlighting the advanced visualization software in PicomEnterprise which can conpare datasets of more than 4,000 images. ScImage users can conduct interactive MPR, oblique slicing, and sliding MIPs using axial datasets. Applications for calciﬁed plaque analysis and CT/MR angiography also are available. Aquarius iNtuition features an open application programming interface for RIS/PACS integration, and has interface localization support via multiple languages. Viatronix (Booth 3303) is introducing the V3D- Colon application and a V3D-Cardiac module. V3D-Colon features the capability to load any two colon image series for review and comparison; provides a view of the dissected colon segment without distortion or ﬂattening; and deliver a colon CAD interface that integrates MedicSight’s CAD. V3D-Colon has automatic measurement of maximum diameter/volume of polyps with morphology analysis; a set of user-editable translucent view color schemes, and enables C-RADs guideline complaint reports. The V3D-Cardiac module allows coronary and functional analysis. Visage Imaging (Booth 2591) is highlighting Visage ScImage: PicomEnterprise advanced visualization software Cardiac Analysis, a thin-client cardiac CT application. Visage Cardiac Analysis includes tools such as calcium scoring, myocardial segmentation, wall thickening computation, and improved reporting and editing. Visage is demonstrating its integrated Visage PACS/ CS thin-client solution with tools for 2D, 3D, and 4D image review and interpretation, post-processing, data management, and image distribution. The product also features tools for radiology, cardiology, neurology, oncology, surgery, and other subspecialties. Vital Images (Booth 6520) is showcasing its Vitrea Siemens Medical Solutions (Booth 7713) is showcasing its syngo TrueD application for RIS, PACS, postprocessing and image distribution. The syngo TrueD 3Dapplication provides image analysis and comparison. It enables reading of multimodality patient scans from multiple time points, including PET/CT, SPECT/CT as well as the fusion of CT or MR with PET or SPECT images. TeraRecon (Booth 7762) is debuting its Aquarius iNtuition thin-client platform. TeraRecon is showcasing clinical innovations for iNtuition including: ÿ Support for dual-energy CT scanning ÿ Automatic anatomy identiﬁcation and labeling ÿ CT/PET fusion with automatic registration ÿ Fusion for blood pooling MR contrast agents ÿ Parametric mapping for time-dependent MRI ÿ CT/CT angiography registration and subtraction for “CT-dual subtraction angiography” ÿ Full cardiovascular clinical workup capabilities on a thin client 44 N O V E M B E R 2 0 07 | Health Imaging & IT 4.0 and VitalConnect 4.1 advanced visualization systems and Vital EP, a new electrophysiology (EP) planning application. The Vitrea 4.0 workstation-client release includes cardiovascular workﬂow improvements such as automatic segmentation and probing of the coronary tree, vessel management and labeling, centerline editing and reporting with automatic population of ﬁndings. Neurovascular improvements include motion correction and simultaneous multislice computation for 4D perfusion for stroke patients. Colon enhancements such as ﬂy-through capabilities, polyp probe and automatic registration of prone and supine also are included. VitalConnect 4.1 has new cardiovascular tools, including automatic segmentation of the coronary tree, centerline editing, automatic stenosis calculation, improved 2D performance, and integrated reporting. Vital EP contains a 3D advanced visualization and modeling tool that automatically segments pulmonary veins and creates a 3D anatomic heart model for superimposed EP mapping. Ziosoft (Booth 8951) is showcasing its FDA-cleared Ziostation 3D visualization and analysis software. Ziostation provides advanced volumetric imaging tools and intelligent clinical tools, including automatic segmentation, multi-data fusion, coronary analysis, and colon analysis. Ziostation’s scalable conﬁgurations, from dedicated workstations to comprehensive server/thin client systems, support critical functions. HealthImaging.com http://HealthImaging.com
