RTViz Introduces VolumePro Net Network 2D/3D Imaging Engine for Hospital Workgroups.Business Editors/High Tech Writers RSNA RSNA Radiological Society of North America, Inc. RSNA Robust Security Network Association 2000 CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 26, 2000 -Real Time Visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all (RTViz) Sunday introduced VolumePro(TM) Net, a shared visualization engine that serves real-time 2D/3D images simultaneously to desktop computers over a hospital network. VolumePro Net combines the high performance, superior image quality and collaboration capabilities of high-end 3D workstations with the cost-effectiveness, scalability, and location independence of software-only solutions. VolumePro Net is intended to address the growing need for high performance real-time 3D visualization for clinical specialties. "VolumePro Net is providing the infrastructure to proliferate pro·lif·er·ate v. To grow or multiply by rapidly producing new tissue, parts, cells, or offspring. interactive, high quality 3D images throughout the hospital," said RTViz General Manager Jamie Jacobs. "It will deliver workstation performance to the physician's desktop or laptop computer." Ubiquitous 3D VolumePro Net brings the power of a real-time 3D workstation to the physician's desktop or laptop computer. The product enables collaboration by allowing a 3D study to be manipulated and annotated on one station and simultaneously viewed on other computers on the net. Scalability, Performance and Image Quality VolumePro Net can be scaled to serve the imaging needs of any size workgroup. VolumePro Net is designed to intelligently manage imaging sessions to maximize performance and enhance image quality. RTViz Volume Pro Net---Page 2 of 2 VolumePro Family The VolumePro family provides a continuum of medical imaging solutions, starting with the award-winning VolumePro 500 for dedicated high performance workstations and, now, extending to network imaging with VolumePro Net. All members of the VolumePro family have the same application-programming interface (API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. ) so that applications running on VolumePro 500 can easily be ported to VolumePro Net. The API is written for both C++ and Java clients. Enabling New Clinical Applications For the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and , VolumePro Net is available with customizable Network Visualization Client/Server (NVCS NVCS National Vegetation Classification System NVCS Nissan Valve Timing Control System ) software. This software provides the framework for the creation of new collaborative clinical applications. Benefits -- Highly interactive 3D imaging on any computer -- Diagnostic imaging quality -- Enhances collaboration and communication between radiology and clinical specialists -- Scalable to meet workgroup imaging needs -- Seamless integration into existing hospital networks -- Cost-effective workgroup solutions Profile Real Time Visualization is a world leader in visualization solutions for 3D imaging. RTViz designs, manufactures and markets innovative and award-winning imaging solutions for the medical, geophysical ge·o·phys·ics n. (used with a sing. verb) The physics of the earth and its environment, including the physics of fields such as meteorology, oceanography, and seismology. , scientific, manufacturing and simulation industries. The Real Time Visualization group, with headquarters in Concord, Mass., is a wholly owned business unit of the publicly held Mitsubishi Electric Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (三菱電機株式会社 Company of Tokyo. In 1998, Mitsubishi formed RTViz to commercialize the company's diverse technologies in computer graphics and volume rendering Volume rendering is a technique used to display a 2D projection of a 3D discretely sampled data set. A typical 3D data set is a group of 2D slice images acquired by a CT or MRI scanner. Usually these are acquired in a regular pattern (e.g. developed at the world renowned Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass.
