KORTRIJK, BELGIUM, 13 December 2005 - 3D imaging specialist Barco has been chosen by NeuroLogica Corporation, Danvers, Mass., to develop high-quality 3D rendering software for its innovative CereTom mobile scanner console and associated Clarus workstation. Based on its Voxar 3D visualization and analysis software, Barco has provided NeuroLogica with a custom designed package that will allow CereTom users to see and manipulate 3D views of the brain in an efficient and intuitive way.\t

NeuroLogica's CereTom is the world's first mobile Computed Tomography (CT) scanner for x-ray head and neck examinations. CereTom has recently been cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Barco provided NeuroLogica with a user-friendly 3D imaging solution based on its Voxar 3D visualization and analysis software, yet with the addition of new features and functionality that specifically address the needs of the CereTom user.

"When our engineers defined the specification of the CereTom, we wanted to assure that we could offer the most comprehensive 3D imaging package to fulfill our customers' needs," explains Bernard M. Gordon, CEO of NeuroLogica Corporation. "Barco's advanced Voxar 3D software, with its smooth and intuitive interface, not only has provided CereTom with state of the art imaging capabilities, but also makes it easy to use in a clinical setting."
NeuroLogica especially appreciated Barco's collaborativeness and responsiveness, which allowed the company to get to market very fast. "Throughout the development and integration phases of the CereTom, the Barco team worked with our engineers to customize the imaging software to the needs of the system," says Bernard M. Gordon. "Their professionalism, flexibility and efficiency enabled us to bring the CereTom scanner from concept to production in eighteen months."
