Statements from 
TRIP™ Corporate Partners

"A paradigm shift in the radiology interpretation process has become a pre-requisite to effectively explore the wealth of diagnostic information present in exams performed with the new imaging modalities, such as multislice CT, and multi-sequence MR. These huge datasets cannot be analyzed anymore in an analog-film like model. Techniques based on 3D, fly-through, 4D and image fusion will become the standard tools to assess huge stacks of 2D images. The TRIP initiative will be the ideal white space where all the players of the Radiology Community can meet and develop the new viewing solutions for tomorrow in a spirit of true collaboration and academic excellence."

"Barco has established a leadership position in medical imaging by providing high performance visualization products to view and interpret data from the latest medical imaging devices.  Advancements in medical imaging technology present both problems and opportunities. The large amount of data collected results in many images for the radiologist to study, providing the opportunity to move beyond 2D reading and interpretation techniques to volumetric approaches.

Barco believes that the TRIP™ initiative is an important step in unlocking the potential in the latest generation of medical devices.  As an industry partner in the radiological interpretation process, Barco would like to share its expertise in visualization technology with other leaders in the industry to work collaboratively towards achieving the TRIP goals.  Together, we can examine the medical goals and constraints of working with the data and the technological capabilities associated with creating workable products in support of these medical goals."
