MRI Image Processing & Visualization | 2008-11-20 | |
| The client needed to develop a MRI console application supported by various 2D and 3D post-processing tasks such as Image Filters, Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP), Multi Planar Reformat (MPR), Volume Rendering (VR) and many others. To optimize the time to market the client insisted upon usage of a third party library (Cedara) that provided a key set of algorithms required for the processing. BSI's Imaging team implemented the algorithms by designing the complex IAP pipelines using IAP objects. The following 3D functionalities were developed: MIP, MPR, VR, Virtual Endoscopy. The following 2D image processing features were provided: Addition/Subtraction of images, 2D Filter, Diffusion, Perfusion, BSI also implemented several add-on viewport tools for drawing ROIs and performing measurements on the images.

Changan Suzuki Cuts CAD Licensing Costs by 80% With Enterprise Visualization Solution | 2008-07-01 | Oracle |
| Prior to implementing AutoVue, designers and manufacturing technicians had to use CAD workstations installed on specific computers dispersed throughout ChangAn Suzuki's facilities to view documents. This method of collaboration was soon considered unproductive and cumbersome, especially as the company had to spend thousands of dollars buying new hardware and software licenses to accommodate the increasing number of users. With AutoVue 3D Professional Advanced, engineers, designers, and manufacturing personnel now have secure, real-time access to hundreds of document types via a Web browser. AutoVue enabled access to large 3D models that were uploaded on ChangAn Suzuki's intranet without requiring the original CAD design creation software.

How Much Performance Do You Need for 3D Medical Imaging? | 2008-04-01 | Intel |
| TechniScan Medical Systems' 3D UltraSound CT Breast Imaging system produces images on par with MRI clarity, and can actually distinguish unique tissue properties - enough to detect a water-filled cyst from a solid tumor. If approved by the FDA, the TechniScan system has the potential to reduce the need for painful, invasive biopsies. This case study explains how the TechniScan 3D Ultrasound CT Breast Imaging System works, and how new Kontron CP6012 single board computers using the Intel Core2 Duo processors are helping to meet TechniScan's goal for images in less than 60 minutes.
