Portable 3D Medical Imaging for Capture, Analysis, Interpretation, and Research

Problem

The flexibility of IT-based medical imaging systems such as PACS (Picture Archive and Communications Systems) has created new opportunities for telemedicine practices such as teleradiology, where remote readings by radiologists can be done over a network. However, the computing power required to accurately process and display the data-rich images generated by CT (Computed Tomography) or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) equipment is often well beyond the capabilities of conventional, consumer-oriented hardware.

For example, a diagnostic workstation is typically a robust but stationary machine, outfitted with multiple monitors and specialized graphics cards. Yet today's physicians must often perform readings from somewhere outside of their normal office, and laptops are often inadequate for serious diagnostic work.

Additionally, the service providers and OEMs who must demonstrate the amazing capabilities and life-saving features of medical imaging systems are forced to bend their business models to the limitations of the same commodity hardware. These companies must show their high-value software and services on a low-value consumer notebook or waste thousands of dollars and valuable personnel hours managing computers that were not designed for the needs of the traveling healthcare sales force. As these companies try to cover more territory with less people, the problem is amplified.

Solution

NextComputing's robust and professional solutions offer a new approach to today's medical imaging problems. Our FleXtreme architecture delivers high-performance, commercial grade computing power inside small, travel-ready systems. The NextDimension Pro HD "flextop" computer can support the same high-end specifications as a radiologist's desktop workstation, complete with a triple-monitor setup, but in a briefcase-sized package that's ready to take wherever your business' needs require you to go.

For Physicians:

No longer settle for an under-powered laptop for analyzing critical patient images. Provide complete diagnostic readings from anywhere there’s power and an internet connection.

For Software/Service Providers:

Show your company's 3D imaging application on a true workstation-class computer that's easy to set up, goes where you go, and makes the type of first impression that will place you ahead of your competition.
