A new press release from Intelerad talks about their inclusion of Fovia’s “High Definition Volume Rendering” (HDVR) technology for their IntelePACS and InteleOne software systems, used in diagnosis and surgical planning.

“Intelerad focuses on streamlining radiology workflow and providing the best integrated user experience for radiologists,” says Ken Fineman, Chief Executive Officer of Fovia. “With native integration of HDVR, Intelerad’s customers will be able to master how they use their reading and reporting software through a single interface, including the world’s most advanced visualization tools.”

No doubt this is a great thing, but they are surprisingly big on the fact that it can render “extremely large datasets” in 3D using “off-the-shelf CPUs”.  One has to wonder why they didn’t integrate GPU’s for this which could probably offer even better performance at a lower-price point (compared to the CPU’s they would have to add).
