Terarecon goes for Remote Visualization

TeraRecon, Inc. was in fact the first one to commercialize a client-server system for remote medical visualization. Dedicated workstations for review of medical image datasets (e.g. CT/MRI scan images) work great, but are very resource hungry for CPU/memory as well as rendering system. Witha client-server approach, TeraRecon deploys multiple rendering clients with a single rendering/processing server which allows for multiple users to connect to a single server using their laptops, notebooks, home computers, and recently: even their iPhones, and review medical imaging datasets in full 3D.

This approach is beneficial both for the users (radiologists: data access anywhere) and the facility (hospitals etc.: relatively lower cost of equipment because of teh need for only one extensive processing machine (the server) with many remote clients that are very light with resource demands).
