MINNEAPOLIS, June 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vital Images, Inc. ("Vital"), a Toshiba Medical Systems Group Company, is pleased to announce the global release of VitreaExtend™, an advanced visualization solution that supports up to three simultaneous users with high performance similar to Vital's advanced server-based solution.
