TeraRecon Applies Production iNtuition(TM) Version to Meet Stanford Face-off Challenge

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, May 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
TeraRecon, Inc. (www.terarecon.com), a leader in advanced visualization
and decision support solutions for medical imaging, today announced that
it will meet all the rigorous challenges put forth as part of the
Stanford Mulitdetector-Row CT Symposium 2009 Workstation Face-off event
by leveraging innovations currently available in the version 4.4 release
of its disruptive iNtuition visualization and decision support solution.
Version 4.4 of Aquarius iNtuition is in the "General Availability" phase,
meaning it has hundreds of installations and ships as standard to new
customers. The Workstation Face-off event will occur on Wednesday, May
20th, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency, San Francisco, CA.

The Stanford MDCT Symposium is a key annual event for multidetector-row CT
(MDCT) innovation, where advances in MDCT acquisition and interpretation
technology are reviewed by academic researchers, and showcased by vendors.
One of the highlights of the technology review is the Workstation Face-off
where the most advanced volumetric visualization solutions, often in beta
form, are compared and contrasted real-time by expert physicians. As such,
the event is widely regarded as one of the most important and demanding
advanced visualization forums. TeraRecon will meet these challenges using
iNtuition 4.4, via an entirely client/server solution, which is able to be
run on ordinary PC's, as well as upon existing PACS review stations and
throughout the many specialty areas within a health enterprise. While it
is usual for companies to apply unreleased, beta software in the context
of the Face-off, TeraRecon will meet all challenges with the fully
released, production build of the iNtuition software.

TeraRecon president & CEO, Robert Taylor, Ph.D, said, "It is a testament
to the talents of our research, development and engineering teams, as
well as our rapid development processes, that we are able to address all
of the stringent tasks and challenges of the 2009 Stanford Workstation
Face-off using our latest production release of the iNtuition software,
version 4.4."

iNtuition provides a solution to many of the greatest challenges facing
radiology departments today. Key topics addressed by academic
presentations at the 2009 symposium include the challenges of storing the
great volume of imaging data acquired by modern CT scanners [1], how to
establish and operate a 3D image processing laboratory to support
diagnostic interpretation and therapy planning [2], and how to extract
information from current and historical scans, in order to best provide
decision support to interpreting and treating physicians [3]. To meet
these specific demands, iNtuition offers massively scalable image storage,
seamless advanced visualization workflow collaboration and fully-automated
retrieval and processing of prior studies.

Dr. Taylor continued, "Future advancements in MDCT technology will surely
require not only powerful analysis and visualization tools, but also
create an increasing reliance on advanced decision support technology to
enable speedier, more accurate, and more cost-effective patient
management. We believe this will ultimately translate to more effective
patient care at a lower cost, which is a clear imperative for providers
of medicine today. iNtuition is designed from the ground up as an
integrated platform for intelligent transmission and efficient
interpretation of image data, application of powerful quantitative and
qualitative image analysis tools, and tightly integrated decision support
capabilities."
