CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - November 30, 2009) - TeraRecon, Inc. (
www.terarecon.com), global
leader in advanced visualization and decision support solutions for medical
imaging, is highlighting the selection and deployment of its iNtuition™
advanced visualization software by many of North America's largest
healthcare enterprises, innovative physician practices and renowned
luminary institutions at the 95th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of
the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) at McCormick Place,
Chicago IL. Testimonials from some of the hundreds of customers who have
selected iNtuition are provided below.
"We are now routinely installing iNtuition solutions which cover tens of
hospitals each. Several projects are underway which are an order of
magnitude larger. As an example, iNtuition advanced visualization tools
are being integrated into a PACS system which supports the majority of
covered lives in an entire Canadian province. The feedback that we have
received from our customers speaks for itself. The rapid adoption of
iNtuition throughout the course of 2009 provides clear evidence that
iNtuition is in a class of its own as a fully-featured and scalable
enterprise advanced visualization solution," explained Jeff Sorenson,
TeraRecon Vice President of Sales, USA and Canada.
Customer Testimonials
Centura Health
Jeffrey Moulton, MD, Radiologist
"We decided to perform an extensive internal trial of the available
thin-client advanced visualization solutions to determine which ones
performed as advertised and which was the best in real-life practice. Each
of these vendors agreed to install their thin-client solution on our
network, with PACS integration, for a 45-day trial under real-time
conditions. The TeraRecon iNtuition product was the clear winner. The
product worked almost flawlessly on our network and integrated very well
with our PACS. The automation of many advanced rendering functions is
tremendously helpful in speeding up our workflow. All of the features we
need on a regular basis were very easy to access and to use. No other
product came close in terms of the combination of power, image quality, and
ease of use."
The Nebraska Medical Center
Michael Battreall, Director Medical Information Systems
"The TeraRecon solution has allowed us to provide the radiologists one
workspace for all their needs. With the tightly integrated solution that

the solution allows our referring community to improve their patient care
by allowing web-based access to imaging data on and off campus."

visualization deployment because it offers greater access to the clinical
tools and provides enhanced workflow collaboration across the enterprise.
We use iNtuition and AquariusNET extensively within the Radiology
Department and 3D post-processing laboratory for clinical evaluation,
educational sessions, various clinical research projects and endograft
planning within our vascular surgery department."
TeraRecon President & CEO, Robert Taylor, Ph.D., said, "The testimonials
above demonstrate that a decision to select TeraRecon for advanced
visualization is far more than a simple purchase of a product and a
maintenance agreement. TeraRecon views every deployment project as an
opportunity to broaden our repertoire of problems solved, and every
customer as a partner whose needs and challenges we must embrace and
overcome, secure in the knowledge that by doing this, we are building
products that are relevant, innovative and effective at addressing the
constantly-evolving demands of the imaging enterprise. iNtuition has
ushered in a new era of advanced visualization where unprecedented
automation and wider-than-ever access to advanced visualization tools are
helping to redefine the diagnostic and therapeutic process of medicine. At
RSNA 2009, we will showcase the continuing evolution and refinement of this
truly exceptional technology, while introducing support for more clinical
applications, as we progress towards our goal of managing the complete
spectrum of advanced interpretation needs in a single, integrated
offering."
