Bilthoven, The Netherlands. 3mensio Medical Imaging B.V., a company dedicated to the development of next generation 3D visualization software for the medical imaging market, today announced that it has closed an investment agreement with leading venture capital firms Prime Technology Ventures (PTV) and Gimv.
"This is an important milestone for 3mensio and provides us with a strong foundation for the future," according to Mr Frank Wessels, Founder and CEO.

Founded in August 2003, 3mensio focuses on exploiting the capabilities offered by so-called Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) on graphics boards that are quickly becoming commodity components of PCs.

3mensio will use the funding for expanding its research and development activities as well as accelerating its business and marketing operations.
