FDA clears Bartron's PACS software

The FDA has cleared Barton Medical Imaging’s MED-SEG system, a PACS software device that receives medical images and data from various imaging sources, including CT, MRI, ultrasound, CR and DR devices, as well as secondary capture devices (scanners or imaging gateways).

In addition to general PACS use, healthcare professionals can use the system to separate 2D images into digitally-related sections or regions that, after colorization, can be individually labeled by the user, the Largo, Md.-based company said.

The MED-SEG system has a custom data-mining server, a computational engine and an object-oriented database to manage data, models and results, as well as one or more client applets that provide users with a graphical interface to Barton's Hierarchical Image Segmentation Beowulf Cluster, according to Bartron.
