TeraRecon delivers real-time interactive 2D/3D volume-rendered clinical applications site-wide or enterprise-wide from a powerful central server using thin-client streaming technology. AquariusNET- Server enables physicians anywhere to interact with large slice CT/MR studies from any thin networked PC or PACS review station by using a centrally shared server rendering resource powered by 'VolumePro', TeraRecon's patented real-time hardware rendering engine technology. Concurrent users can remotely review enormous slice studies over existing networks within the enterprise or at home using DSL or Cable Modems, with no compromise or limitation on clinician access to the available information. AquariusNET™ is scalable to accommodate as many concurrent client sessions as required, and eliminates the need to purchase dedicated, expensive post-processing workstations for everyone who desires to review CTA/MRA studies. Very little network bandwidth is required as all the heavy lifting is done on the server and the image results are streamed "on- demand" anywhere they are required. DICOM slices do NOT need to be pushed to the remote review stations, nor are expensive computers necessary for real time display or manipulation of volume images.
