Vital Images, a leading provider of enterprise-wide advanced visualization and analysis solutions, today announced that it has renewed its marketing and distribution agreement with Medicsight. This partnership gives Vital Images' customers access to enhanced tools for the detection of suspicious regions within colorectal scans with the integration of Medicsight's ColonCAD™ software into the Vitrea® solution.
"This agreement reflects our commitment to providing comprehensive advanced visualization tools to the radiology, oncology and gastrointestinal community," said Jay D Miller, Vital Images president and chief executive officer. "We believe that virtual colonoscopy will become an increasingly important tool in diagnosing and treating colon cancer, and adding tools to increase efficiency in reading CT colon scans by offering the Medicsight ColonCAD functionality is a great benefit to our customers and their patients."
"Medicsight is delighted with the new agreement, which further strengthens the strong relationship between Vital Images and Medicsight," said David Sumner, chief executive officer of Medicsight, PLC. "Our combined technological and clinical expertise results in a powerful package that brings virtual colonoscopy to its true potential. We look forward to supporting Vital Images in delivering this combined solution to clinicians and capitalizing on the increasing customer demand for virtual colonoscopy with CAD."
The Medicsight ColonCAD product is currently available in Europe, Canada and Australia and will be available in the US pending FDA clearance.
