Current medical imaging modalities such as MRI, CT, ultrasound and
microscopy routinely create stacks of images. Many physicians researchers still view these images as a set of single frames. approach at SRI is to recombine the data into a single volume and render it in stereoscopic 3D in realtime; the object appears to float in front of the screen. Our systems accept Dicom and Raw datasets, with more data support under development (contact us for specific requests). The standalone imaging station displays large datasets on a 1080P high definition stereoscopic screen, viewed with 3D goggles and manipulated on the fly. We can handle all types of data;
3D IMAGING
Volumes generated from CT, MRI's and ultrasound can
be directly loaded by the system and be interactively displayed in
high definition. Data can be removed or added, color and opacity
of each pixel in the data can be changed interactively.
The above images are of a CT dataset rendered with our system, it represents how transparency and color can be modified to highlight different features of the dataset.
These iamges represent how the clipping function can remove portions of the data and allow internal structures to become visible.
4D VISUALIZATION
SRI's imaging technology can handle 3D datasets with multiple timepoints, otherwise known as 4D datasets. Rendering speed and all display parameters, including clipping are tunable in 4d visualization mode. Watch a lesion change size in a multi timepoint MRI, observe cells grow in a temporal microscopy dataset or watch a heart beat with 4D cardiac data. For an example of a 4D cardiac dataset rendering click here
The image below is depicts the rendering of a multi-timepoint MRI.
MULTI CHANNEL IMAGING
Data from multiple modalities can be overlayed and individual visualization parameters modified on the fly with Standing Rocks imaging system. Look at a multichannel confocal dataset to asses colocalization, or view a coregistered MRI, CT and/or PET scan.
The left image is a multichannel confocal image of pyramidal cells, and the right is an overlayed PET and CT scan
SEGMENTATION
Use the built in segmentation tools to segment your data in stereocopic 3D, isolate a portion of your data and calculate volumes or surface area. Measure lesion or tumor size, use for surgical planning.
The images below are an MRI with a segmented tumor , displayed from different viewpoints and with different color mappings. The last image is a segmented lesion from an MS brain.
