TeraRecon partakes in ECR 2010 Face-Off

TeraRecon, a provider of advanced visualization and decision support solutions, participated in the third annual Workstation Face-Off at the 22nd European Congress of Radiology (ECR), held in Vienna.

The Face-Off, hosted by Anno Graser, MD, and Christoph Becker, MD, radiologists from the Ludwig-Maximillians University in Munich, featured two cases involving oncology and perfusion imaging and analysis with CT and PET, for three sequential timepoints.

Apart from the workstations supplied with the four major vendors of CT scanners, TeraRecon provided the enterprise advanced visualization solutions, with its thin client/server-based iNtuition solution.

Presenting for TeraRecon, Christopher Herzog, MD, chief of radiology at the Red Cross Clinic in Munich, performed the tasks within the allotted time using TeraRecon’s Aquarius iNtuition software.

According to the company, the first of these cases was completed with more than 40 seconds of the allotted four minutes remaining.
