Visage Imaging to integrate Medicsight's CT colonography and ColonCAD*
technologies into the Visage(TM) Thin Client PACS solutions
CARLSBAD, Calif., Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Visage Imaging,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:
MRCY), and Medicsight announced a partnership on the joint development of
an advanced CT colonography solution which will be fully integrated with
the Visage(TM) Thin Client/Server platform.
"We look forward to supporting Visage Imaging in delivering this unique
integrated solution to hospitals and imaging centers. The easy deployment
and enhanced accessibility of the Visage solution results in a powerful
package that brings CT colonography to its true potential," said David
Sumner, Chief Executive Officer at Medicsight.
Visage Imaging's leading-edge PACS and advanced visualization solutions
are capable of displaying and processing the ever-increasing amounts of 2D,
3D, and 4D data efficiently on standard computers connected through LAN,
WAN, or the Internet. The planned CT colonography (CTC) application will be
fully integrated into this platform, providing server-based performance and
consistent data access across the entire healthcare enterprise. In this
way, radiologists and clinicians can make most efficient use of the power
of CTC combined with Medicsight CAD, in both second and concurrent reading
paradigms; as well as for distributing, documenting, and sharing the
diagnostic results. The CTC application becomes an integral part of the
PACS infrastructure and workflow, thereby removing the need for costly,
dedicated CTC workstations.
"This partnership reflects our commitment to providing advanced
clinical applications that become available directly within the PACS
workflow, and throughout the enterprise," said Marcelo Lima, President of
Visage Imaging. "Visage enables our customers to make more efficient use of
their PACS, advanced visualization, and clinical applications such as CT
angiography, cardiac CT, and CT colonography. The benefits of an
integrated, thin client- based solution start with an optimized workflow
inside the radiology department, and go all the way to enabling remote
reading services and an enhanced service offering to their referral base."
