PEGASUS IMAGING CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THE INTRODUCTION OF IMAGE DELIVERY PROTOCOL (IDP) |
| TAMPA, FL, November 25, 2000 - Pegasus Imaging Corporation, a leader in Medical Digital Image Compression Technology, today announced the introduction of its new technology, Image Delivery Protocol (IDP). The announcement is initiated at the RSNA. Pegasus Imaging Corporation is introducing IDP as the first true compressed image region-of-interest delivery technology into the medical imaging industry. In comparison, other technologies are emphasizing lossless regional delivery requiring higher bandwidths than using a compressed region of interest. Image Delivery Protocol (IDP) is used by image transmission applications to support the efficient, interactive, dynamic, progressive transmission of image data. "Using the well known Pegasus Wavelet Compression Technology, Image Delivery Protocol (IDP) will give the users of wavelet compression the ability to regionally select and drill down into desired areas of a compressed image without losing the advantage of Wavelet compression," says Will Clonts, medical business development manager. "It is the extension of Pegasus' commitment to deliver compressed medical images at excellent quality, extremely fast, and with any given line speed." "We have seen a tremendous increase in network transmission speeds over the Internet, and parallel to that, the increase of image size for medical modalities" adds Quest Shamai, Director of Marketing. He adds, "The advantage of Image Delivery Protocol (IDP), will be the speed at which the region of interest of any medical image will be delivered. Panning, zooming, and drilling down features will all take advantage of Pegasus Wavelet compression, giving greater speed to the viewing application". "The image data to be transmitted can be divided into arbitrary region-of-interest with differing transmission priorities. These regions and their transmission priorities can be changed by the viewer during the transmission of the image data," says Mr. Clonts. |
