FiatLux Imaging, Inc. and Panasonic to Showcase Image Viewing and 3D Visualization Software Optimized for Next Generation Mobile Health Care Computers at HIMSS 2009
FiatLux Imaging™, Inc. and Panasonic Computer Solutions Company, manufacturer of durable Panasonic Toughbook® mobile computers, have announced plans to demonstrate at HIMSS 2009 the advanced visualization capabilities of FiatLux Visualize™ optimized for the next generation of tablet computers for the health care industry including the new fully-rugged Panasonic Toughbook H1 Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA).
Unique in the industry, FiatLux Visualize processes images from patient exams onboard the computer so that healthcare professionals can address the growing demand for clinical data access at the patient bedside and at the point of decision throughout the hospital. FiatLux Visualize received FDA 510(k) clearance in August of 2008.
“The beauty of the Toughbook H1 is that it can ease clinical loads and improve workflow by allowing more to be done at the point of care,” said Greg Davidson, Sr. Business Development Manager Panasonic Computer Solutions Company. “Having solutions like FiatLux Visualize optimized for the H1 is a perfect example of this value proposition. Through the combination of Panasonic and FiatLux, clinicians will have mobile and reliable access to advanced medical imaging and analysis when and where they need it.”
Ushering in new possibilities for high-quality, affordable, diagnostic images, FiatLux Visualize allows physicians and a wide array of medical professionals to view, manipulate, and analyze MPR, MIP, and detailed 3D representations of the human anatomy from CT and MRI exams virtually anywhere, anytime. Neurosurgeons, cardiologists, orthopedic surgeons can use FiatLux Visualize for image analysis, surgical planning, and improved patient communication and understanding at a fraction of the cost of traditional workstation based imaging technology.
“FiatLux Visualize offers healthcare professionals an affordable and flexible alternative to traditional, costly, dedicated 3D processing workstations,” said FiatLux Imaging CEO Mary Frances Feider. “As the role of mobile computing grows in healthcare, FiatLux Visualize brings 3D images to everyday conferences, bedside for patient consultations, and into physician’s homes, or virtually anywhere—all without a significant financial investment.”
FiatLux Visualize will be featured running on the Panasonic Toughbook H1 at the Panasonic booth #7416, April 4-8 in Chicago at McCormick Place North, Exhibit Hall B1.
FiatLux Visualize was introduced to the industry at the annual Radiological Society of North American (RSNA) conference in December 2008 and voted one of the best new software products for 2008 by AuntMinnie.com, the leading on-line source of information for radiologists and the imaging profession.
