Advanced visualization and analysis firm Claron Technology launched Nil 4.0, its PACS 3.0 diagnostic viewer, at RSNA 2014.
The zero-footprint viewer has server-side rendering architecture that eliminates or minimizes DICOM data prefetch and transfers.
Nil 4.0 supports workflow through customizable keyboard, mouse, and touch device shortcuts and hanging protocols. Claron will preview its automated vessel analysis package (for investigational use only), which uses postprocessing in a zero-footprint system. The engine automatically separates vessels from bones in CT angiography studies, while identifying and naming specific vessels. The analysis includes both vessel lumens, thrombus areas, and calcification, which can be individually enabled in the visualization, Claron said.
Nil viewers can be integrated into any DICOM network and are available as turn-key systems for hospitals, imaging groups, or radiology practices.
The firm is also introducing NilHub, which allows deployment, maintenance, and remote monitoring of a large number of Nil servers.
