Medical Imaging Client/Server with PACS Enhancements

It includes an optional Cardiac Analysis Package that allows easy review and automatic quantification of cardiac dynamics using four-dimensional (4D) multi-slice computed tomography (CT) data to evaluate functional parameters, as well as coronary artery analysis.

Clinicians can access advanced functionalities, such as left ventricular analysis and coronary artery analysis, within the workflow of the image distribution system (PACS), at the click of a mouse.

Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (Chelmsford, MA, USA), has developed the enhanced Visage "3D to the Core” systems with advanced functionalities, new clinical applications, and breakthrough levels of image quality and performance that will further facilitate the 3D visualization transformation throughout the medical imaging workflow.

Furthermore, the Visage CS (client server) now includes improved tools for bone removal and vessel segmentation. These advanced features easily allow the removal of the bone or can track the vessel with only a few clicks, as well as generating boneless MIPs MIPs (millions of instructions per second) volume-rendered images. All of this is displayed with a high quality, high performance visualization, and rendering available in the industry.

"Mercury's advanced imaging and visualization solutions help radiologists and clinicians to quickly and easily navigate through 2D, 3D, and even 4D medical imaging data, to present the most consistent image data using analytical tools for quick and accurate diagnoses,” said Marcelo Lima, vice president and general manager of Commercial Imaging and Visualization at Mercury Computer Systems. "The scalable server-side DICOM [digital imaging and communications in medicine] back-end ensures reliable, consistent, and efficient access to all image data. Thus, our Visage software provides all the capabilities of a full-blown medical workstation to any client in the hospital, supporting instantaneous advanced visualization from modalities.”

The Visage PACS, Mercury's award-winning image distribution system, now features hanging protocols for its web clients, enabling a radiologist or clinician to define how images from multiple series and studies are displayed in multiple viewers on single or dual monitors, depending on the type of DICOM data the user has selected for viewing.
