Mercury Computer Systems of Chelmsford, MA, has inked a multiunit, multiyear agreement with Koning of Rochester, NY.
Koning is developing the conebeam CT system for breast and extremities imaging. The system is designed to produce high spatial and isotropic resolution to provide enhanced diagnostic information.
Koning will incorporate Mercury's Visage VR volume-rendering components, Visage WS workstation, and Visage CS client/server for improved imaging workflow. Koning will be able to visualize image data locally and transfer the data to various locations including Rochester, and at other breast centers around the country.

![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)
