Three-dimensional software developer Viatronix will roll out two new modules for its V3D imaging system at next week's RSNA meeting. The first module, a work-in-progress called Calcium Scoring, is designed to aid in the detection of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries, according to the Stony Brook, NY-based vendor.
The second module, Explorer, is a general-purpose 3-D visualization tool for use by radiologists and other medical professionals. Viatronix will also display enhancements to its Colon virtual colonoscopy software, including supine and prone 3-D registration, automatic 2-D flight, and automatic patient MPEG CD creation capabilities.

![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)
