VisageRT(TM) offers accelerated visualization and reconstruction of medical image data. Volume-rendering components include multi-planar reformatting and thick slab rendering, maximum intensity projection, shaded volume rendering, and perspective viewing. Multi-resolution representation for large data ensures smooth interaction with 3D images. Image reconstruction components support Fourier techniques, Pi methods, algebraic reconstruction, and expectation maximization.

Volume Rendering and Image Reconstruction Solutions Improve Time to Market and Increase 3D Imaging Quality for Life Sciences

CHELMSFORD, Mass., Nov. 11 - Mercury Computer Systems (NASDAQ:MRCY) announced the VisageRT(TM) family of software components for accelerated, embedded visualization and reconstruction of medical image data. Designed for seamless integration into existing system frameworks of life sciences OEM customers, VisageRT software leverages the power of mainstream processors and accelerators to deliver increased performance and enhanced image quality, and is an integral offering in Mercury’s portfolio of advanced 3D imaging and visualization solutions.

“With the VisageRT offering, we enable our customers to keep pace with the tremendous amount of data that is created by today’s diagnostic and interventional imaging devices such as CT, MR, digital X-ray, SPECT, PET, and ultrasound,” said Marcelo G. Lima, vice president of Life Sciences, Imaging and Visualization Solutions, Mercury Computer Systems. “By building upon off- the-shelf software and hardware components, time to market and engineering cost for our customers are drastically reduced. Furthermore, VisageRT-based solutions scale from software-only to multiple GPU- or FPGA-based solutions, to provide the optimal balance of value and performance.”
