MATROX, LARIVIÈRE AND IMAGE SMITHS COLLABORATE TO DELIVER SUPERIOR MEDICAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGY
04 June 2006 - Matrox VITE

Matrox Graphics Inc., is proud to announce its expanded technology partnership with Larivière and Image Smiths, with the Matrox TheatreVUE display projection controller boards having been tested with Larivière's VeriLUM for LCD/DLP and D-ILA Projectors solution. A DICOM-compliant projection solution supporting DICOM Part 14 calibration for LCD/DLP and D-ILA projectors, the VeriLUM for Projectors solution allows for the proper presentation and calibration of images such as X-Rays and Ultrasound images. This projection solution may be used in medical imaging projection environments, including medical trainings, presentations, and case review. With the TheatreVUE display projection controller boards, users can now experience calibrated projected images for pristine visual quality when using the VeriLUM for Projectors solution, achieving an outstanding medical imaging projection configuration.

Larivière's VeriLUM for Projectors solution is comprised of software, hardware and a customized optical interface for projectors, and features a USB connection and gamma correction applied through the Matrox TheatreVUE display projection controller board in the PC.

"We are happy to see the calibration results of VeriLUM for Projectors combined with the Matrox TheatreVUE display projection controller board," says Michael Beaugrand, manager, medical digital imaging department, Larivière. "Together, Matrox TheatreVUE and the VeriLUM for Projectors package will allow medical professionals to view calibrated, high-quality images such as X-Rays using a projector, rather than crowding around a single display."

Using the TheatreVUE display projection controller board along with the VeriLUM for Projectors package, users can easily clone a section of the screen, up to the entire display, to the projector for easier viewing of specific images or image areas. Also featured in the package is a dual-projection capability, whereby two boards in a system are each capable of supporting a medical display and a projector, for the display of multiple simultaneous images.

"High-quality digital images are extremely important in medical imaging," says Neil Goldstein, president/CEO, Image Smiths Inc. "Our VeriLUM calibration software helps ensure consistent color and grayscale video display performance."

"Matrox is pleased with the test results of the VeriLUM for Projectors solution supporting its Matrox TheatreVUE display projection controller board," says George Rigas, medical product manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. "Being able to clone any region of a medical display and have it projected full-screen on to a projector allows educators and operators to effectively communicate to a wide audience their message. And, combined with Larivière's calibration solution, TheatreVUE allows medical imaging professionals to review cases with more detail and accuracy."
