enterprise-wide advanced visualization and analysis solutions, education
and services
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Vital Images, Inc.
(Nasdaq: VTAL), a leading provider of enterprise-wide advanced
visualization and analysis solutions, is showcasing the ViTAL Community, a
growing suite of products and services designed to provide a synergistic
solution, here at the 92nd Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the
Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), November 26 - December 1,
2006. The ViTAL Community highlights the Company's commitment to
relationships empowered by its comprehensive solutions featuring Vitrea(R)
software, Web-based ViTALConnect(R) solution, VitreaACCESS(TM) system,
education through ViTAL U and its maintenance and services program,
ViTALPerformance(TM).
ViTAL Technology
Considerable enhancements to both the flagship software Vitrea and Web-
based ViTALConnect, combined with additional accessibility options, provide
an elegant workflow solution that simplifies complex medical imaging
information. The result is easier communication among radiologists,
radiology technologists, and other clinical users, such as surgeons,
oncologists and referring physicians.
Working together as a robust advanced imaging solution, Vitrea,
VitreaACCESS and ViTALConnect provide the power and speed of workstation
applications bolstered by the communication and distribution flexibility
provided by the internet. For example, physicians using Vitrea 3.9 can
manipulate studies creating key images, then push them to the ViTALConnect
4.0 solution where enterprise users both inside and outside of the facility
can restore the Vitrea workflow and continue further analysis and
manipulation utilizing a Web interface. VitreaACCESS-Remote extends this
capability by allowing radiologists to access their advanced visualization
desktop from a remote location utilizing their VPN (Virtual Private
Network).
"We've worked very closely with customers to understand the
complexities in their workflow and to simplify those workflows through
elegant software solutions. The result is that ViTAL is able to provide our
customers with anywhere, anytime access to clinically-relevant advanced
visualization and analysis solutions customizable to fit the needs of their
enterprise," said Susan A. Wood, Ph.D., executive vice president of
marketing and product development for Vital Images. "This close
collaboration can only happen when you build and maintain strong and
productive relationships and when you treat customers like partners."
