Rochester, NY -- Lucid, Inc. will provide the European Union (EU)
with a preview of its VivaNet™ telemedicine server for
dermatology applications at the European Academy of Dermatology
and Venereology Show (EADV) in Vienna, Austria, May 16-20, 2007.
The VivaNet™ server is intended to link dermatology
practitioners using Lucid’s non-invasive VivaScope® confocal
imagers with other dermatologists or pathologists via the
Internet.
Lucid will display the VivaNet™ server at the EADV in
conjunction with MAVIG, its EU distribution partner based in
Munich, in MAVIG’s booth, Y35. |

“Lucid’s
non-invasive VivaScope® confocal microscopes provide cellular
resolution images of skin that may be used by a dermatologist to
assist in forming a clinical judgment for a variety of skin
conditions,” said Jay Eastman, Chairman and CEO of Lucid, Inc.
He continued, “VivaNet™ is intended to provide fast, accurate,
and secure storage, retrieval and transfer of VivaScope® digital
cellular resolution images across the Internet to facilitate
professional collaboration and consultation.”
During a typical VivaScope® imaging session, both dermatoscopic
quality, full color macroscopic pictures and microscopic,
cellular resolution images of the patient’s skin are imaged.
Once all of the images for a single session are completed, the
images and patient related data are transferred for storage to
the secure VivaNet™ server and are immediately available for
retrieval by and transfer to other authorized practitioners for
their review and collaboration.
“Our plan is that VivaNet™ will ultimately make in-vivo confocal
images available for review by other dermatologists and
pathologists in minutes, not days, thus enabling rapid,
real-time professional collaboration,” said Eastman.
VivaNet™ is an Internet-based, DICOM-compliant application that
enables the transfer of VivaScope® digital images between
practitioners and pathologists for rapid review of confocal
images. DICOM, which is an acronym for Digital Imaging and
Communications in Medicine, is an internationally accepted, and
widely used standard for the secure storage, retrieval and
transfer of medical images. HIPAA-compliance, privacy, and data
integrity are assured by using proven DICOM compliant software
modules that incorporate advanced encryption techniques.
