MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 16, 2007 -- Kazeon, the recognized leader in
unstructured information management, today announced that Bartron Medical
Imaging, Inc. (BMI), a leading provider of advanced medical image analysis,
has chosen Kazeon's award-winning Information Server IS1200-ECS to provide
better customer service to hospitals for quickly finding, managing, and
securing patient information.
"BMI's Medical Segmentation System (MedSeg™) provides physicians and
other health care practitioners with the power to take any un-manipulated
medical image and segment it to see features in the image that were not
previously visible to the naked eye," noted Fitz Walker, Jr., President/CEO
of BMI. "We have built this product with some of the most advanced
technology from NASA's Goddard Flight Center, CalTech/JPL and the Kennedy
Space Center. After rigorous evaluation, Kazeon stood out as best-in-class
to help us search, classify, and manage medical images as a critical
component of our Med-Seg™ solution."
Kazeon indexes every Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)
image that passes through BMI's MedSeg™ solution, collecting metadata
about the digital image such as patient name, patient ID number, hospital
location, file size and last access time. Radiologists and medical
practitioners can now quickly search to locate any document or image
related to a particular patient or case stored across hundreds of hospital
server and storage devices.
In the healthcare industry, rapid data growth goes beyond email messages
and traditional file data to include a vast quantity of medical images that
are infrequently accessed yet consume significant amounts of storage.
Kazeon's rich policy engine automates the movement of all images to ensure
that infrequently accessed images are automatically archived off of primary
storage to secondary ultra density optical (UDO) storage.
"Kazeon's IS1200-ECS secure, feature rich search capability enables medical
professionals to rapidly identify and locate relevant medical images with
the efficiency, scalability and power that is expected from BMI's
MedSeg™," added Sudhakar Muddu, CEO of Kazeon. "It is particularly
satisfying to see our technology being applied to medical applications that
truly make a difference in people's lives. We are pleased to see our
IS1200-ECS assist medical personnel in making more accurate diagnoses."
More about the IS1200-ECS
The IS1200-ECS revolutionizes the way organizations search, classify, and
act on information. The IS1200-ECS is the industry's first product to
integrate content-aware indexing, classification, search, reporting and
migration together in one package to address information access and
management challenges within the healthcare industry. Powerful features
are combined with an easy-to-use web-based user interface to enable
hospital IT staff and medical practitioners to quickly identify relevant
DICOM images and preserve the integrity of this information by
automatically protecting it against destruction or alteration.
Precautionary measures such as this help demonstrate robust corporate
governance to meet HIPAA regulation requirements for shareholders,
auditors, and insurers.
