3D Imaging For Medical Professionals On The Go

Belgium based, Barco has developed a 3D visualization product, AVT, that gives clinicians the ability to see and read studies from any location outside of the radiology reading room, as long as there is a standard network connection or 2-4 Mbps broadband service.

With AVT, clinicians can now work from home or on the road and tap into their vast medical resources when they cannot be at the hospital. The AVT system even allows doctors to pull up very detailed 3D images.

The high-performance server architecture that AVT is based upon employs state-of-the-art graphics processing and image distribution technology that provides full functionality over low bandwidth. This guarantees smooth distribution of advanced visualization, not only over the hospital’s network, but to remote offices and even homes using a standard broadband connection. Moreover, the server architecture is fully scalable, making it the ideal solution for large, multi-site hospitals or hospital groups.

One of the advisory board members of 3Dwalkthroughs.com is a medical professional that will certainly find this technology interesting. He is always travelling to give talks on his field of medicine, and is forever complaining that he wished he could be more productive in the hotel room.
