Description
Vital Images is a medical imaging software company that develops and markets high-speed 3-D imaging software used primarily in clinical diagnosis, disease screening, and therapy planning. This software utilizes an intuitive clinical workflow model and automatic settings to improve speed and simplicity.
Products / Services
The company's primary software products include Vitrea and ViTALConnect. Vitrea is an advanced visualization software that creates 2-D, 3-D and 4-D images of human anatomy from CT (computed tomography) and MR (magnetic resonance) imaging data. The Vitrea software is designed for use by specialists, enabling them to incorporate cardiac, colon, and vessel probe data through various features. ViTALConnect enables physicians and other users to access, measure, rotate, analyze and segment images using a Web-enabled browser on a personal computer.
Technology / Differentiation
The company's software applies proprietary computer graphics and image processing technologies to data supplied by CT and MRI scanners, allowing clinicians to non-invasively navigate images to better visualize and understand internal structures and pathologies.
Market / Customers
Vital Images sells its products to end-user customers (i.e. hospitals and clinics), imaging centers, digital imaging equipment manufacturers, picture archive, and communication systems companies through a direct sales force in the U.S. and Europe. It also sells through independent distributors in international markets.
Status
In April 2008, Vital Images announced that it surpassed 3,000 customer sites worldwide. It also declared a full-year 2007 net income of $1.4 million.
