Healthcare IT and advanced visualization developer Merge Healthcare of Milwaukee has begun shipments in Europe of the newest version of the company's Merge Mammo breast imaging workstation.
Merge Mammo is a multimodality image review workstation that enables users to compare mammography images side by side with images from other modalities. Version 7.0.1 includes new features such as an enhanced full-resolution viewing mode that enables radiologists to move from section to section of a full-resolution mammography image to ensure complete review of the entire image.
An optimized screen "real estate" feature supports automated fitting of the breast image into the display, avoiding the distraction of moving and manipulating images, according to the company. Finally, version 7.0.1 has an enhanced grayscale inversion feature that enables conversion of white (the breast image) to black, while maintaining background (nonbreast image) as black. This enhances the radiologist's ability to isolate potential problem areas more effectively when inverting images, the company said.
