Imaging technology vendor Pegasus said it has signed a licensing agreement with Milwaukee-based Merge Technologies for the use of Pegasus' image delivery protocol (IDP) in Merge's new ImageChannel product.
IDP is an image region-of-interest delivery technology used in image transmission applications to support the efficient transmission of image data, Pegasus said. Using Pegasus' wavelet compression technology, ImageChannel incorporates IDP to regionally select and drill down into desired areas of a compressed image without losing the advantages of wavelet compression, Tampa, FL-based Pegasus said.
The advantage of IDP is the speed at which the region-of-interest of any medical image is delivered. The technology can be used with still images and low-bandwidth video, and enables rapid enterprise-wide transmission of images without expensive workstations, according to the firm.
