Mercury Computer Systems to Demonstrate Groundbreaking Features of Visage CS and Visage PACS Solutions at RSNA 2006

CHELMSFORD, Mass. (ots) -

Revolutionary Visage Imaging and Visualization Software Provides
Stunning Image Quality, Blazing Load Times, a Cardiac Analysis
Option, and More

Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY) announced it will
demonstrate the enhanced Visage(TM) "3D to the Core" product family
with advanced functionalities, new clinical applications, and
breakthrough levels of image quality and performance - that will
further facilitate the 3D visualization transformation throughout the
medical imaging workflow.

Mercury will showcase its leading-edge Visage CS Thin
Client/Server and Visage PACS solutions at the 92nd Scientific
Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North
America (RSNA) at McCormick Place, in Chicago, Illinois, November
26-30.

The Mercury Visage CS Thin Client/Server features blazingly fast
study loading with 2,000-slice dataset start times measured in
seconds. It includes an optional Cardiac Analysis Package that allows
easy review and automatic quantification of cardiac dynamics using 4D
multi-slice CT data to assess functional parameters, as well as
coronary artery analysis. Clinicians can access advanced
functionalities, such as left ventricular analysis and coronary
artery analysis, within the workflow of the image distribution system
(PACS), at the click of a mouse. Furthermore, Visage CS now includes
improved tools for bone removal and vessel segmentation. These
advanced features easily allow the removal of the bone or can track
the vessel with only a few clicks, as well as generating boneless
MIPs and volume-rendered images. All of this is displayed with the
highest quality, highest performance visualization and rendering
available in the industry.

"Mercury's advanced imaging and visualization solutions help
radiologists and clinicians to quickly and easily navigate through
2D, 3D, and even 4D medical imaging data, to present the most
consistent image data using analytical tools for quick and accurate
diagnoses," said Marcelo Lima, Vice President and General Manager of
Commercial Imaging and Visualization at Mercury Computer Systems.
"The scalable server-side DICOM back-end ensures reliable,
consistent, and efficient access to all image data. Thus, our Visage
software provides all the capabilities of a full-blown medical
workstation to any client in the hospital, supporting instantaneous
advanced visualization from modalities."

Visage PACS, Mercury's award-winning image distribution system,
now features hanging protocols for its web clients, enabling a
radiologist or clinician to define how images from multiple series
and studies are displayed in multiple viewers on single or dual
monitors, depending on the type of DICOM data the user has selected
for viewing. The greatly improved user interface of the Visage PACS
web viewer provides the possibility of side-by side viewing of any
number of images with flexible viewer layouts. Mercury recently was
granted clearance by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to market
Visage PACS and Visage CS products as medical devices in the United
States.
