Vital Images Showcases the ViTAL Enterprise Solution at Stanford University's 6th Annual Face-Off
LAS VEGAS, May 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Vital Images, Inc.
(Nasdaq: VTAL), a leading provider of enterprise-wide advanced visualization
and analysis solutions featured ViTAL's solution at the 10th Annual
International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT inLas Vegas. The solution,
which was demonstrated at the 6th Annual Workstation Face-Off, highlighted the
breadth and depth of clinical functionality through the interpretation of four
highly complex and challenging CT studies: a CT Colonography using
computer-aided detection and virtual endoscopic evaluation, a CT angiographic
carotid stroke case with the evaluation of brain perfusion, a ten-phase
combined coronary CT angiography and a thoracic aneurysm case, that was not
provided in advance as a way to simulate an actual emergency case, read
remotely fromFargo, ND, and a thoracic PET-CT case to evaluate pulmonary
nodules.
The studies were timed and read by vendor-selected physicians live before
the symposium audience of over 1,000 attendees. The intense and time-limited
environment is intended to mimic a busy clinical practice.
"The ViTAL solution automatically segmented the three major coronary
arteries in all ten cardiac phases -- unlike any other vendor -- in a very
complex clinical case," said Tony DeFrance, MD, medical director of the CVCTA
Education Center inSan Francisco. "This advanced clinical functionality and
workflow efficiency is crucial for diagnosis in a busy clinical practice."
"Advanced clinical solutions are increasingly important in acute care,"
said Lawrence Neil Tannenbaum, MD, FACR, director of CT and MR Imaging, Mount
Sinai Medical Center inNew York City. "I was able to complete diagnostic
analysis in a carotid stroke case remotely fromFargo, ND, within four
minutes. 'Time is brain' in the evaluation of stroke and this patient's brain
had a great chance to be saved because of the flexibility and deep clinical
functionality offered by ViTAL's solution."
The ViTAL solution provides an elegant workflow that simplifies complex
medical imaging information. The result is a true enterprise-wide solution
that enables easier communication among radiologists, cardiologist,
technologists, and other clinical users, such as surgeons, oncologists and
referring physicians.
