Shaded Surface Display (SSD)

Surface display of complex anatomies.

•3D display of surfaces from a series of contiguous slices using a variable threshold.

•The displayed volume consist of voxels whose HU are in a range defined by two limit values, an upper and a lower threshold (= HU limits).

•Display and analyze various anatomy, e.g., from the cranium, pelvis, extremities, e.g., for the purpose of planning surgical interventions.

•The 3D objects can be tilted and rotated in real-time.

Volume Rendering Technique (VRT)

True 3D visualization of volume data.

•Projection onto an arbitrarily oriented plane.

•Density, opacity and refraction information is used to generate views that optimally meet different clinical objectives.

•Optimal display quality and differentiation of differ- ent organs through independent control of color, opacity and shading in up to 4 tissue classes.

•Predefined settings for many clinical objectives and anatomic regions are easily selected from an image gallery.

•Pre-settings can be linked to DICOM series descrip- tion to automatically ensure standardized quality in clinical routine.

•Clip-planes can be used to easily scroll through the volume in VRT Thin mode.

•Easy interaction with SmartSelect control (right mouse button).
