By WTN News • 09/08/05 West Allis, Wis. - The medical imaging software and services company Merge eMed, a Merge Healthcare company, has launched, Baby Explorer, a 3D fetal imaging software application, the company announced Wednesday.
Baby Explorer, created by Cedara Software, also a Merge Healthcare company, is an ultrasound plug-in application for generating advanced 3D fetal images. Running on a standard PC, Baby Explorer complements existing ultrasound devices by enabling technologists to easily generate 3D fetal images from 2D clips, the company said in its announcement.
