Aquarius iNtuition^TM offers workstation-class functionality and thin client convenience. Thin-Client processing comes of age at RSNA 2007 with TeraRecon’s iNtuition^TM platform architecture for the Aquarius suite of products. The new Aquarius iNtuition client, the evolution of the Aquarius Workstation, delivers workstation-class applications to regular PCs or PACS stations throughout the department and enterprise.

This key innovation blurs the line between advanced 3D workstations and thin-client 3D, so it is no longer necessary to choose between the two and accept compromises. Aquarius iNtuition offers one seamless solution for advanced image management needs.

At RSNA 2007, TeraRecon will showcase the following clinical innovation on the iNtuition edition of the Aquarius product suite:

• Support for dual energy CT scanning.
• Automatic anatomy identification and labeling.
• CT/PET fusion with automatic registration.
• Fusion for blood pooling MR contrast agents.
• Parametric mapping for time-dependent MRI (e.g. breast).
• CT-CTA registration and subtraction for 'CT DSA'.
• Full cardiovascular clinical workup on a thin client.

The iNtuition^TM workflow mantra is 'Automate, Validate and Read'. The AquariusAPS server provides real-time automatic pre-processing to perform routine tasks and prepare the case for human interaction. During the validation step, a technologist or physician reviews the work done so far to validate its accuracy. This leads to optimal interpretation with the minimum time requirement from a busy physician.

Aquarius iNtuition also provides a truly enterprise-class architecture. At RSNA 2007 the company will demonstrate the hugely scalable nature of the solution by deploying a server cluster capable of rendering hundreds of thousands of CT slices concurrently. Data flow to multiple servers is managed with AquariusGATE scheduled routing technology, while rendering load between the servers is managed with automatic, headless load balancing, such that the cluster behaves as one huge 'virtual server' delivering a uniform physician experience anywhere in the healthcare enterprise with a common patient list.

Aquarius iNtuition^TM features a simple and open API for PACS/RIS integration, and many such partnerships will be showcased at various PACS company booths around the RSNA hall. Aquarius iNtuition is designed for the global market with user interface localization supported to a wide range of languages.
