OTTAWA, Ontario--()--Convergent Imaging Solutions, a leader in workflow-optimized image fusion software, today announced the release of UniSyn Image Fusion 3.1, an update to its widely used medical imaging software suite.

Offering broader viewing capabilities, UniSyn 3.1 features study comparison as a fully integrated component and allows up to four PET/CT or PET/MR datasets to be compared simultaneously. The new release will also feature tools for automatically registering and saving standalone CT and MR series with existing PET/CT studies.

“Quantified tracking of disease is an important part of the evaluation and treatment of cancer patients,” said Mathew A. Thomas, founder and CEO of Convergent Imaging Solutions. “Version 3.1 has significant improvements in study comparison and lesion quantification capability, in particular, using RECIST and PERCIST criteria. Combined with our intuitive and powerful user interface, and convenient deployment model, we are able to provide an industry leading solution for radiologists and oncologists.”

The new features will also be available to customers of Intelerad Medical Systems™, a Convergent partner who has incorporated UniSyn as an Image Fusion module within its industry-leading distributed radiology solution.
