Visage Imaging Signs Imaging Endpoints
SAN DIEGO, CA –19 April 2011 - Visage Imaging® Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pro Medicus Ltd. (ASX: PME), announces today they have signed a deal with Imaging Endpoints of Scottsdale, Arizona to accelerate their clinical trial process.
Imaging Endpoints is a core medical imaging lab focused on accelerating the clinical trial process for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and will be utilizing Visage Imaging’s Visage® 7 Thin Client universal viewing solution for faster access to data via thin-client, web streaming technology to optimize workflow efficiency. Visage 7 is the world’s first diagnostic imaging solution based entirely on thin client streaming technology. Visage allows efficient viewing, processing, and archiving of very large numbers of images, including thin slice volumetric data from CT, MR, PET-CT, and other 3D modalities.
“This revolutionary thin client technology allows us to reach our network of highly specialized experts wherever they maybe. Now we can get the most accurate and consistent readings out even faster. Visage 7 works on a variety of OS platforms and uses bandwidth so efficiently that we can instantly bring the highly technical tools to analyze our core lab images to the radiologist rather than waiting to bring the radiologist to the workstation,” said Jim Whitfill, MD Chief Information Officer for Imaging Endpoints.
“Visage is intent on delivering next generation imaging technology that solves many of the challenges associated with the delivery of the ever increasing size of medical image data; allowing the radiologist to have access to a powerful set of diagnostic tools anytime/anywhere can be realized with the Visage 7 thin-client platform. We look forward to a long-standing partnership with Imaging Endpoints and our mutual quest to provide better services through technology”, said James Burchfield, National Sales Director for Visage Imaging Inc.
