Local company Medcotek Inc. has signed a licensing agreement with UB for use of a new technology that will advance the company’s entry into the lucrative teleradiology market.
Developed by Vipin Chaudhary, associate professor of computer science and engineering, the new 3D viewer and data-transmission system is designed to improve the transmission and diagnosis of X-rays and other radiological images sent over the Internet, a process known as teleradiology.
A shortage of radiologists nationwide has created demand for teleradiology technologies, particularly in remote areas where the shortage is acute, according to Medcotek CEO Frederic Zeigler.
