RSNA 2007 IN DEPTH RSNA360.HealthImaging.com Daily News · Business · Technology TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW Advanced Viz Adds a Whole New Dimension The developers of advanced visualization applications are providing technologies for the visualization of images to achieve e ciencies that will meet the demands of an ever-larger volume of image data both in number of procedures and data. At RSNA, look for streamlined, more integrated thinclient solutions. 3mensio Medical Imaging (Booth 5750) is featuring demonstrations of 3viseon 3D imaging software and its 3viseon Imaging Workstation for radiologists. The 3viseon 3D imaging software, as well as its 3viseon Imaging Workstation, displays CT and MRI datasets as 3D reconstructions using PC technology. The 3D imaging software can be integrated into existing PACS applications. The ﬁrm also offers a Stereoscopy conﬁguration, using StereoMirror display technology from Planar Systems. The workstation also has an optional vascular package for analysis of CT angiography or MR angiography exams. Aycan Medical Systems (Booth 6903) is introducing its aycan workstation OsiriX Pro. The FDA-cleared aycan workstation OsiriX Pro offers a 2D viewer, 3D viewer, 4D viewer, and a 5D viewer. The 3D viewer offers multi-planar reconstruction (MPR), surface rendering, volume rendering, and maximum intensity projection (MIP). All modes support 4D data and are able to produce image fusion between two different series. Barco (Booth 4714) is showcasing its Voxar 3D Enterprise capabilities; the latest release of Voxar 3D advanced visualization suite; and custom solution capabilities. The Voxar 3D suite 6.3 has a set of integrated clinical applications, including Voxar 3D ColonMetrix for CT colonography and Voxar 3D PET/CT Fusion. Voxar 3D ColonMetrix provides graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated automatic centerline ﬁnding. An integrated gravity function keeps the camera position aligned with the scanner table. Voxar 3D PET/CT Fusion supports the interpretation and real-time interaction of whole-body PET/CT images. In addition, it provides automated workﬂow for hotspot triangulation and calculation and display of standardized uptake values. Both ColonMetrix and PET/CT Fusion feature Live Images “saved-state” functionality that allows users to save a case and return to it to begin reading where they left off. The Voxar 3D Enterprise solution delivers access to advanced visualization throughout the enterprise by taking advantage of client-server technology and commonly available high-performance GPUs. The ﬁrm says it can provide custom-designed 3D and 4D platforms that can be integrated into a variety of modalities. Carestream Health (Booth 2513) is demonstrating the 3D processing capabilities of its Kodak Carestream PACS. The Carestream PACS platform delivers 2D and 3D capabilities, including MIP, MinIP (minimum intensity projection), MPR, volume rendering, tissue deﬁnition and vessel tracking through dynamic streaming capabilities. The system offers integrated Siemens Medical Solutions’ Fusion7D software for visualization of cancerous tumors and lesions. Fusion7D creates a composite image by overlaying image data from PET, CT, SPECT and MR systems for visualization of anatomic and metabolic information. Cedara Software (Booth 1316) is showcasing new imaging tools as technologies and concepts. Some of these include: ÿ Advanced segmentation technology, including libraries for lesion contouring in ultrasound, CT and MRI. ÿ Mammography Skinline detection for mammography images and inverse rendering. ÿ Image Enhancement offers x-ray workﬂow HealthImaging.com 40 N O V E M B E R 2 0 07 | Health Imaging & IT Barco: Voxar 3D Enterprise http://rsna360.HealthImaging.com http://HealthImaging.com
