CHICAGO – Fujifilm Medical Systems USA of Shelton, CT, has integrated 3-D technology developed by Voxar into its Synapse PACS product line under an agreement announced by the firms at this week’s RSNA meeting.
Voxar’s Plug ‘n View 3D technology will give Synapse users additional functionality by enabling them to conduct 3-D imaging on the same workstations they use to review PACS images. Integration of the products is complete and sales have begun, according to Andrew Bissell, founder and CEO of Voxar, which is based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Plug ‘n View 3D is a software-only reconstruction product designed for Windows-based personal computers. In addition to selling the software as a stand-alone product, Voxar is pursuing deals with PACS vendors like Fuji in an effort to piggyback on the rapid growth of the digital image management market.
Voxar already has relationships with DR Systems, ALI Technologies, Aurora Technology, and several other PACS firms. The company has also hired a number of PACS and teleradiology veterans to help drum up new sales.
Voxar introduced Plug ‘n View 3D at last year’s meeting, and since then the company has been growing rapidly, Bissell said. Voxar’s revenues are doubling each month, he said.
In its RSNA booth, Voxar is demonstrating new features for Plug ‘n View that include new enhancements that make it easier for users to separate bone from soft tissue in reconstructed images. A new slab-rendering algorithm is designed for viewing large data sets acquired by multidetector CT scanners, and multiplanar reformatting has also been added to the software.
