The server also includes the AquariusWEB viewer, a true browser-based volumetric viewer which works on any modern web browser and allows clinicians to view images sent by interpreting physicians as a URL link via e-mail or embedded in a report. Upon clicking on that link, the physician is taken to a secure page where they can interact directly with key 2D, 3D or vascular analysis views that the interpreting physician selected to illustrate the findings. An interactive 3D experience is provided directly through the web browser, using only standard browser technology, requiring no download, installation of plug-in or administrative privileges on the physician's computer. AquariusWEB is supported directly by modern web browsers without requiring any installation or administrative privileges. Specifically, it is supported by Internet Explorer 6 or 7, Firefox 1.5 or 2.0, without the need to install any upgrade or option. No plug-in required, no ActiveX control, no Java required. AquariusWEB is also supported by most modern Mac and Unix-based browsers. This allows these volumetric and interactive Scenes to have a much broader reach and even to be reviewed by end users whom would otherwise prohibited by institutional security policies that prevent downloading software. The AquariusWEB viewer can also enable embedding of live, interactive Scenes into Electronic Medical Records and physician web portals. It is even possible to open and manipulate volumetric images on the iPhone.

AquariusWEB enables enterprise-friendly distribution of results with appropriately limited interactive tools available, and without requiring too much knowledge or training. It is very simple to use, deploy, and control.


"With the Aquarius iNtuition Server, TeraRecon offers the highest single-server capacity available on the market today for the largest number of concurrent users accessing the largest CT examinations with all cardiac tools available," said Dr Taylor. "This is a direct and important benefit afforded by TeraRecon's unique technology platform, which, despite many attempts, no GPU- or CPU-based solution has been able to match."
