Viatronix, QI partner to combine colonoscopy imaging tools

Viatronix Inc. has announced a worldwide CAD integration partnership with QI (Quantitative Imaging). Under the agreement, Viatronix will integrate QI's colon CAD engine - PolypPoint - with its clinically proven V3D-Colon workstation.

"Under the terms of the agreement, Viatronix will license QI's powerful CAD product and offer it as an optional upgrade to our V3D-Colon module," said Zaffar Hayat, CEO and president, Viatronix Inc., in a release. "The work has already begun in Q3 2005, and we expect that the commercially integrated CAD will be available to the market by Q4 2005. This integration provides another powerful tool enabling radiologists to detect colon polyps quickly and with greater confidence. The combination of our proven V3D-Colon platform and QI's CAD engine will immediately set a new standard for end users."
