TeraRecon Demonstrates 500,000-Slice Server at RSNA 2007

SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - December 3, 2007) - TeraRecon (www.terarecon.com), a leader in
innovative image processing technology and advanced 3D visualization
solutions, today announced the successful operation of an advanced
visualization server with rendering capacity for over 500,000 CT slices at
the 93rd annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America
(RSNA), McCormick Place, Chicago. This largest-ever AquariusNET server
provided advanced visualization capability to over 50 workplaces in the
TeraRecon exhibit, where the new Aquarius iNtuition Client software was
demonstrated to a significant number of the ~30,000 professional attendees
to the RSNA meeting.
TeraRecon president, Robert Taylor, Ph.D., said, "This server is a
compelling demonstration of TeraRecon's lead in terms of power and
performance when it comes to advanced visualization, which is ever-more
relevant considering that this year at RSNA, the talk of the show was the
new 320-slice and 256-slice scanners introduced by the modality
manufacturers. With 0.25s rotation time, such a scanner can acquire well
over 1,000 images per second, and it's not difficult to understand the
challenges advanced visualization vendors are going to face in attempting
to manage and manipulate all this data. However for TeraRecon, this is
second nature. Our commitment to powerful rendering technology has always
been a hallmark of TeraRecon and we welcome this renewed opportunity to
demonstrate this differentiating aspect of our technology and solutions."
Dr. Taylor continued: "However, while it's an impressive technological feat
to be able to deploy a server with such immense rendering capability, the
real highlight of RSNA 2007 for TeraRecon was the newly-introduced Aquarius
iNtuition Client, a new thin client advanced visualization tool with a
feature set previously accessible only on a stand-alone 3D workstation.
TeraRecon has successfully migrated these tens of advanced applications to
the thin client model, achieving a true enterprise-wide solution for
advanced visualization, years ahead of our competition's most optimistic
schedule for the same."
