Analysis tools enhance breast MRI May 8, 2007

TeraRecon, a leader in advanced image processing technology and solutions, announced the availability of time-intensity analysis tools for Breast MRI studies as a standard feature on its industry-leading AquariusNET thin-client server, with advanced pre-processing options available for the recently introduced AquariusAPS server.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) has recently announced new cancer screening guidelines for women at different defined levels of risk of developing breast cancer (1). According to the ACS statement, screening MRI is recommended for women with an approximately 20-25% or greater lifetime risk of breast cancer, including women with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer and women who were treated for Hodgkin disease. 1. http://caonline.amcancersoc.org/cgi/content/full/57/2/75#T1

"The recent ACS statement underscores the need for efficient and widely-accessible evaluation tools for breast MRI," stated Robert Taylor, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of TeraRecon. "Most of the tools used by physicians today produce a limited set of views of the anatomy, whereas AquariusNET provides a fully volumetric review environment supporting any oblique plane, and its tools are available enterprise-wide. AquariusNET's standard tools already offer a powerful feature set for Breast MRI management, and with the simple addition of the AquariusAPS server and its Parametric Maps module, women's imaging centers and radiology departments can increase efficiency at a highly competitive price compared to other solutions available in the marketplace."
