Marketwired
The Medipattern Corporation ("Medipattern") (TSX VENTURE: MKI), a
pioneer in the development of medical imaging software solutions
that help medical practitioners to better understand lesions and
critical anatomy, is pleased to announce the on-time release of
Visualize:Vascular™ 1.1. Shipments have started and the first sites
have been installed.
"Visualize:Vascular's 3D rendering for carotid arteries really
is an eye opening experience. This is the first time that I can
clearly see the anatomy of the lumen from any perspective using
ultrasound imaging," commented Farouq Samhouri, M.D., President of
Northeast Philadelphia Vascular Surgery (NEPVS) in Pennsylvania.
"Ultrasound is a key imaging test for us. Ultrasound is cost
effective and convenient. We perform the exam right in our offices.
There is no need for the patient to have to go to the hospital. We
have immediate access using this real-time imaging technique every
time our patients come in for a visit and now we see the whole
lumen in 3D. There were often lingering questions when we relied
solely on 2D imaging; questions as to whether something could be
missing, hidden, or lurking in the shadows."
Dr. Samhouri continues, "The only way to see the lumen in 3D
prior to Visualize:Vascular was to order a procedure which had to
be done in the hospital, such as Computed Tomography Angiography
(CTA) or Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA). While I use CTA and
MRA as pre-surgical tests and would still use these as pre-surgical
tests, they expose the patient to radiation or contrast agents
which should not be used on a regular basis. Ultrasound is
non-invasive and does not expose the patient to radiation or
contrast. I can use Visualize:Vascular on a regular basis with
Ultrasound, giving me a detailed 3D understanding of the patient in
every office visit."
"NEPVS is the largest vascular surgery practice in the
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. Dr. Samhouri and his associates
pride themselves on patient care and responsiveness in providing
each patient with their own customized treatment plan. The practice
diligently monitors each patient to determine the best choice in
medical options and the improved care that can be achieved from
close monitoring," commented Jeff Collins, President and CEO of the
Medipattern Corporation. "Visualize:Vascular is being offered on a
fee per-use model. Installations are expected to grow throughout
next quarter as Visualize:Vascular continues to prove its clinical
utility in daily practice. This growth should result in a steady
increase in revenue for the company."
