3-D developer TeraRecon plans to introduce its latest cone-beam reconstruction (CBR) server at this month's RSNA meeting. Designed to provide volumetric CT capabilities for multidetector CT scanners, CBR employs an array of up to 32 of the San Mateo, CA-based firm's Xtrillion array processors working in parallel on a standard PC host.
The server reconstructs images that keep pace with data generated from multidetector CT scanners, according to the vendor. It can also handle 500 to 1,000 projections in a reconstruction algorithm, and deliver nearly artifact-free isotropic volume reconstructions, TeraRecon said.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
