Revolutionary Visual Search Technology for PACS/RIS and Medical Imaging Applications
(I-Newswire) - REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – [Newswire] – December 1, 2008 – Visuvi Inc., a leader in visual search solutions participates in the RSNA 2008 Conference in Chicago and present visual search technology that changes the way medical images are indexed and searched.
“It is time for medical image search to catch up with the advances in image generation and storage” said Christopher Boone, President and CEO of Visuvi, “we’ve developed an image indexing and search solution that revolutionizes the way the medical industry works with images to improve healthcare efficiency and patient care.”
The Visuvi image based search engine analyzes an image to retrieve relevant data based on the content of that image. For medical imaging and PACS/RIS, the ability to quickly ( less than 1 second ) search for information using a medical image as input is a tremendous advantage to medical professionals. Example use cases include, but are not limited to:
i. Upload an X-ray to find other X-ray images of similar cases, retrieve diagnoses, patient information, or find images of related modalities; ii. Upload an image to perform “computer aided diagnosis” through Visuvi’s automatic image analysis, etc. such as analyzing MRIs for cancerous nodes or abnormalities which are not noticeable to the human eye, assisting in early detection and identification; iii. Providing a machine generated read of medical images as a check against human analysis. Such a process reduces medical liability, insurance premiums and provides more thorough patient care through low cost means.
In addition to the search engine’s detailed image analysis, Visuvi also has a revolutionary image indexing engine which catalogs/indexes images at a rate of 300 images per second ( 1 billion per month ). Visuvi builds a searchable medical image database accessible globally in a Web-based, software-as-a-service model.
Visuvi executives will be available at the RSNA 2008 conference for in-person meetings.
