Duluth, Ga. - 12 May 2015 - The Edison Awards, celebrating 28 years of honoring the best in innovation and excellence in the development of new products and services, announced today that the Barco Coronis Uniti™ display system was voted a Silver Winner for innovation at the April 23rd event at The Capitale in New York City. Hundreds of senior executives from some of the world's most recognized companies gathered to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of all of the 2015 Edison Award winners.
Being recognized with an Edison Award has become one of the highest accolades a company can receive in the name of innovation and business. The awards are named after Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) whose inventions, new product development methods and innovative achievements literally changed the world, garnered him 1,093 U.S. patents, and made him a household name around the world."Our judges recognized the Barco Coronis Uniti as a true innovation out of the many products in its category," said Frank Bonafilia, executive director of the Edison Awards.
"One display, any image" boosts reading efficiency and comfort
The Coronis Uniti is the only display explicitly designed for both PACS and breast imaging to deliver the first unified workflow. With the ability to replace all display configurations, it eliminates the need for a multi-head set-up or for a radiologist to move to another workstation to view additional exams. It is unique in its representation of calibrated color and grayscales, offering both 2D and 3D image viewing capability of static and dynamic images.
"The Coronis Uniti fulfills the promise of 'one display, any image,' representing a one-time investment that will forever change the way radiologists work. It helps them simplify management of their imaging desktop, enabling them to see more patients per day while reading more comfortably," comments Lynda Domogalla, VP Product Marketing for Barco's Healthcare division.
The ballot of nominees for the Edison Awards™ was judged by a panel of more than 3,000 leading business executives including past award winners, academics and leaders in the fields of product development, design, engineering, science and medical.
In addition to the Awards Gala, the annual Edison Awards program encompassed a full-day "Meet the Innovators Forum" and the "Innovators' Showcase," which offered guests a hands-on experience with many of the winning products.
