Software developer Next Dimension Imaging this month introduced a line of clinical cardiology software based on 3-D ultrasound imaging methods. Out of its R&D in cardiac imaging, the company has developed OEM software toolkits that it licenses to companies with 3-D products. Next Dimension has developed a range of clinical products with its toolkits intended to enhance the efficiency of 3-D ultrasound systems.
The companys 3-D PlaneView and 3-D LV-View both use a plane-reconstruction engine for stacks of nonparallel images common in 3-D ultrasound acquisition. With 3-D LV-View, physicians can track the morphology and mobility of cardiac tumors and masses through virtual object modeling.
Next Dimension of Longmont, CO, was founded in 1996 by Lothar Muench and is relatively new to software development. In the past, the company has primarily offered consulting services for 3-D acquisition, processing, visualization, and OEM software.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
