FiatLux Imaging releases free advanced 2D/3D visualization software for CT and MRI imaging data

Medical software company FiatLux Imaging, Inc., located in Redmond, WA, announces the availability of FiatLux Visualize(TM) Free, advanced 2D/3D visualization software for CT and MRI imaging data. The free software is available for any healthcare professional via download from www.FiatLuxImaging.com. There is no charge for download or use.

"There is tremendous unrealized potential in medical imaging data," stated Quentin Dewolf, CEO of FiatLux Imaging.

"CT and MRI scanners generate huge amounts of data every day, yet the vast majority of that data is never seen outside of the radiology suite. If it were, we believe referring physicians could make better decisions, patients could gain insight into their conditions, and the expense and inconvenience of duplicate scans could be avoided.

We deliver advanced visualization to any healthcare professional, not just the small number of radiologists using expensive software on high-end workstations."

FiatLux Visualize Free is the only free advanced visualization software for CT and MRI imaging data that runs on virtually any modern Windows PC/laptop/notebook/tablet - including Windows 7 - and is cleared by the FDA for clinical use in the United States. FiatLux Visualize Free is a fully-featured 2D/3D visualization application - not a demo - for any healthcare professional needing an easy-to-use means of reformatting and viewing DICOM-compatible imaging data.

The software is useful for any healthcare professional, including specialists such as surgeons and cardiologists, primary care physicians, radiologists and radiologic technologists, physician's assistants, and clinical nurse specialists. Medical students and residents will find FiatLux Visualize Free invaluable for studying anatomy, identifying pathology, and reviewing cases.

Typical uses of FiatLux Visualize Free include an easy-to-use, 2D/3D viewer of images on CD or DVD, radiologist report verification, patient education, and procedure planning.

According to Dewolf, "We are offering this software for free because we believe that democratizing medical imaging data is important in the context of healthcare reform and because it is the fastest way to build a user community. We plan to add valuable features based on the input of those users. Many features will remain free and some will be available for a fee, referred to as the 'freemium' approach."
