The Frost & Sullivan 2008 Award for Technology Innovation recognizes Aquarius iNtuition as an outstanding, unique and innovative technology contribution to the medical imaging field. Frost & Sullivan's analysts stated, "TeraRecon's market share within the advanced visualization domain is expanding out of the radiology department into the whole healthcare expertise, predominantly due to its broad range of patented technologies."

"Aquarius iNtuition is an innovation which impacts not only the diagnostic interpretation of volumetric medical imaging examinations, but the entire 'downstream' enterprise that requires access to such information," said Robert Taylor, Ph.D., TeraRecon president and chief operating officer. "We are honored that Frost & Sullivan has further recognized the value and potential of our Aquarius iNtuition platform and selected TeraRecon to be a recipient of a Frost & Sullivan award for the fourth time. It is especially gratifying to have this award bestowed upon our company only a few short months after our being awarded the 2007 Frost and Sullivan North American Market Penetration Award in late 2007."

Aquarius iNtuition™ provides an integrated and comprehensive platform for the management, processing, interpretation and distribution of large medical imaging examinations from Multi-detector CT, MRI, PET, and various other imaging modalities. The system provides for a highly efficient, seamless and unified workflow that begins upon the acquisition of images, continues through automated pre-processing, automated preparation for interpretation by a specialist, individualized diagnostic interpretation, web distribution of rich interactive results to referring physicians and their patients, rapid access by surgeons or interventionalists, and provides these functions via seamless API and URL integration to the widest range of leading PACS and patient reporting environments. Aquarius iNtuition leverages VolumePro™ technology, the most powerful volumetric rendering technology available for medical imaging applications, and AquariusNET™ Servers to provide the client-server rendering architecture. The Aquarius iNtuition platform delivers more rendering power and more clinical tools to more locations across the enterprise, thereby enabling a higher standard of patient care and greater workflow efficiency at significantly reduced cost.
