"What I demonstrated live at the recent Stanford course -- loading andanalyzing a 5,020 slice study over the Web-client -- I could have done from myhouse using my laptop," said Dr. Tony DeFrance, medical director of the CVCTAEducation Center in San Francisco. "I routinely use the 'workstation-client'but it's nice to know that I can use the same powerful tools remotely usingthe Web-client."
The new EP planning application, ViTAL EP, contains a 3D advancedvisualization and modeling tool for the electrophysiology (EP) lab. ViTAL EPautomatically segments out the pulmonary veins and creates a three dimensionalanatomic model of the heart for super-imposed EP mapping. In addition to itspowerful clinical features, ViTAL EP automatically exports a 3D model fordisplay on the on the St. Jude Medical EnSite(R) System, which is used tofacilitate therapy for the treatment of arrhythmias.
Medicsight ColonCAD(TM), designed to automatically identify suspectregions in the colon, is available in Europe with Vitrea 4.0, and will beavailable in the US pending FDA clearance.
