Boston Scientific has released a third software enhancement to its iLab ultrasound imaging system, which was launched in May 2006. 

The Natick, Mass.-based company said its iLab System 1.3 software enhancement is designed to strengthen physician confidence in the diagnosis and intervention of percutaneous coronary intervention and increase workflow efficiency.

Specifically, the iSize feature allows the user to preview device sizing decisions by displaying area and length measurement graphics in the cross-sectional and Longview images, and assists the physician to determine appropriate sized devices for use in coronary procedures, according to Boston Scientific. The iColor feature enhances image interpretation by adding color to the cross-sectional view, coloring plaque and lumen based on Trace Assist for quick image interpretation, the company added.

Boston Scientific said its software upgrade is now available in the United States.
