Análisis de la app BodyViz para 22 de octubre

The BodyViz iPad app is a key component of the world’s most scalable 3D MRI/CT visualization suite for anatomy education and medical simulation. The BodyViz iPad app allows users to interactively rotate, pan and zoom through a patient's virtual anatomy in 3D, using the familiar and intuitive iOS gesture interface. Clipping planes can be created and moved for virtual dissection to expose internal structures of the patient. Users can choose the tissue density they wish to view, such as harder tissues (e.g., bone, muscle) or softer tissue, like fat or skin. They can also choose from a variety of colors to enhance organs and other features of the data. Finally, the BodyViz iPad app enables users to view spatially registered annotations created with the BodyViz desktop application that can allow labeling of anatomical data as well as providing descriptions, web links, and images. To demonstrate its capabilities, the BodyViz iPad app provides access to four anonymized data sets. To generate additional content, and realize the full benefit of the app, users need to purchase the BodyViz desktop application and BodyViz Sync (https://www.bodyviz.com). The BodyViz desktop application enables loading of native medical MRI and CT image files in DICOM format, interactive and intuitive volume visualization, and augmentation with value-added content such as customer tissue types, clipping planes, and spatially registered annotations. To enhance accessibility of this content, BodyViz Sync facilitates the upload of this enhanced content (or native DICOM) to BodyViz Sync. The BodyViz iPad app loads data from BodyViz Sync, extending the use of medical image data beyond a static setting and increasing the value of CT and MRI data for educators, students, residents, and medical health professionals.
