TeraRecon, Inc.,a leading provider of advanced visualization solutions,announced that Kaleida Health, headquartered in Buffalo, New York has purchased the entire suite of Aquarius iNtuition™ technologies under TeraRecon’s unique iNtuition UNLIMITED program, recently introduced at the RSNA 2008 in Chicago, IL. Kaleida Health is the largest health care provider in western New York and serves eight counties with state-of-the-art technology and comprehensive healthcare services by expert, compassionate healthcare professionals.  More than 1 million sick or injured patients are seen annually at Buffalo General Hospital, DeGraff Memorial Hospital, Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital, Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo and numerous community healthcare centers.

David Croston, Kaleida Health’s Vice President and Chief Technology Officer said, “We chose TeraRecon’s iNtuition solution because it offered the widest range of clinical tools and the clear technical merit of a thin-client server-based architecture.  Together, these capabilities allow the deployment of a truly scalable enterprise-wide solution.  Paramount in Kaleida Health’s decision was the iNtuition platform’s impressive ability to rapidly open and manipulate the very large studies from our Toshiba Aquilion One 320-slice multi-detector CT scanner and the availability of workflow integration to our GE Centricity PACS.  The iNtuition UNLIMITED program provides us the ability to purchase these capabilities with a clear total cost of ownership.  We can add image rendering capacity at no additional cost and deploy image processing capabilities throughout the enterprise as required to meet our changing needs.”

Jeff Sorenson, TeraRecon’s Vice President of Aquarius Sales, USA and Canada said, “We are delighted to serve Kaleida Health as their advanced visualization partner.   Kaleida’s enterprise is a most advanced and demanding environment and our solution is ideal to meet these needs.  The already unmatched power of our rendering servers increased 4-fold this past year alone, and we are now able to simultaneously render over 100,000 CT or MR images using a single off-the-shelf server.  New clinical enhancements have expanded the suite of iNtuition clinical tools to pair perfectly with 320-slice CT, dual-source CT and high-field MR scanners, in addition to serving the common need for volumetric radiological review by scores of users simultaneously.”
