LONG ISLAND, NY -- Long Island-based innovator and market leader in 2D/3D visualization software Viatronix, Inc., announces the release of version 1.3 of its best of breed Virtual Colonoscopy Software.
The new version of V3D Virtual Colonoscopy module provides numerous software enhancements and a unique supine and prone registration feature, allowing the user to easily correlate between the supine and prone scan. This feature empowers the user to switch at any time between the supine and prone scan enabling a faster verification of findings or parts that might be collapsed or hidden by residual stool and fluid in one of the two scans. This novel and important enhancement makes the Viatronix V3D Colon module more unique, versatile, and robust when it comes to optimized workflow and reporting.
According to Kevin Kreeger, MD, director of research and development at Viatronix, "Previously if the physician wanted to verify on the second scan any abnormality that was seen on the first scan a manual search was required to find the same location," he says. "Beyond just presenting a screen layout with both scans visible we register the two scans together. This is not a simple 'rigid' registration that allows the physician to scroll through 2D slices simultaneously. Instead we register along the colon based on shape and known landmarks such as the flexures so that even the 3D fly-through is automatically correlated."
Viatronix, Inc. is the market leader in the development and delivery of innovative 2D/3D visualization software solutions for the radiology department. Virtual colonoscopy is a new, innovative procedure that allows physicians to screen patients for colorectal cancer, the second-leading cause of cancer death in the United States. It uses information obtained from a helical CAT scan of the patient's abdomen to create a virtual image of the colon on a computer screen. In this way a physician can "fly-through" a virtual image of the patient's colon on a PC instead of requiring invasive fiber optic procedures.
