TeraRecon to demo iNtuition Cloud at SCCT

Health IT company TeraRecon showed its iNtuition advanced visualization and cloud products at this year’s scientific meeting of the Society of Cardiovascular CT (SCCT) in Denver, July 14-17.

TeraRecon’s iNtuition systems offer advanced visualization tools and access to clinical decision support and reporting tools, the Foster City, Calif.-based company said. In addition, iNtuition Cloud enables real-time remote image interpretation, which was included as part of SCCT’s web-based continuing medical education (CME) physician training courses, TeraRecon said.
