RSNA newcomer offers cut-rate 3D

FiatLux Imaging leveraged advances in the video gaming industry to develop software for processing 3D medical images, a product made to order for tight budgets. With a license price under $3000, Visualize 3D is affordable for "anywhere, anytime" imaging on PC laptops and tablets, possibly even Palm computers, according to the company. RSNA newcomer FiatLux, which was founded only 18 months ago, exhibited the package at RSNA 2008, demonstrating its ability to analyze CT and MR images by taking advantage of DirectX game programming technologies.
