TeraRecon, Inc. introduces Aquarius iNtuition at ITEM2008 in Yokohama, Japan

Yokohama, Japan-April 4th, 2008: TeraRecon, Inc. (www.terarecon.com), a leader in advanced image-processing technology and 3D visualization solutions, today announced the launch of the new Aquarius iNtuition™ release of the company’s advanced visualization platform at the International Technical Exhibition of Medical Imaging 2008 meeting of the Japan Radiological Congress, held concurrently with the 67th Annual Meeting of the Japan Radiological Society, in Yokohama, Japan, April 4th-6th 2008.

ITEM 2008 is the largest annual exhibition for medical imaging technology in Japan, where the Japanese radiology community will meet to discover new innovations and research in the field of diagnostic imaging technology. Central to this are innovations in advanced multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MR) and positron emission tomography (PET). Such technologies have made possible a wide range of new imaging procedures that offer a less-invasive and richer alternative to conventional techniques such as catheter angiography, but in the process, these procedures generate huge volumes of images which have to be managed and manipulated as a part of the diagnostic interpretation process. TeraRecon solutions provide the means to support such interpretation and the subsequent communication with referring physicians and patients, with fast and efficient tools for 3D visualization and measurement.
