"Working with Emageon has allowed us to accelerate our open architecture
programs and deliver a powerful radiology display system for our customers,"
said Patrick Herguth, VP and GM of Planar's Medical Business Unit. "This
solution will allow radiologists and clinicians to use the same workstation
for both high resolution gray scale imaging and 3D visualization software. With the arrival of high-speed interconnect
technologies, such as InfiniBand, 64-bit processors and PCI Express, Linux
clusters can now be used to build scalable graphics engines to generate
detailed visualizations.

Electronics.
Linux Networx's experience delivering landmark systems to many of the
United States' national laboratories, such as Los Alamos National Laboratory
(LANL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), coupled with
excellent price performance, was one of the reasons for AWE's selection of
Evolocity technology.

(Nasdaq: EMAG), a leading provider of enterprise visual medical systems to
hospitals and healthcare networks, announced enhancements to its advanced
visualization software allowing radiologists and treating physicians to better
use volume rendering and 3D navigation in one native, integrated, open-

produce clinically usable images, they produce artifacts and spatial
inaccuracies that are visible in the final image.
Many vendors in the high-end medical monitor industry have expressed their
happiness with this enhancement.
"Matrox and Emageon engineering teams continue to collaborate extensively
to enhance accelerated OpenGL solutions across multiple displays," said George
Rigas, Business Development Manager for Matrox Graphics' Medical Imaging
Solutions. Since the cessation of underground nuclear
testing, AWE's stewardship of the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent is
