Images produced by full 64-bit software.

Since last submittal of the images of FDA, IMGG has been tweaking the performance of the Dominion.
Reason to believe that is the sticky of Dean on this forum.

Apparently , they decided to switch to a full 64-bit software programming language , thus fine-tuning the capabilities of the Dominion.
Reasons for this are not really explained, but my thoughts are that they wanted faster processing of the images (sounds logical) as the time between scan and display is called realtime, but in reality a few tenths of a second. Good enough to call it realtime though.

Last FDA pictures submitted are the ones produced by the 32-bit software, altough running on a 64bit platform (i.e. Linux or Win7)
However Dean estimated in August to have the conversion be ready in a month, its likely that at the RSNA show they did have to full 64-bit environment (soft+platform) ready but still needed tweaking.

This could be a valid explanation why they brought "old" images to the RSNA 2009.
