Challenge
Develop an ML-based tool that could do 3D medical imaging of bones, skin, and other body parts by converting flat scans into three-dimensional volumetric models from X-rays and CT scans.
Solution & functionality
We integrated medical imaging analysis into the customer’s system, ensuring compatibility with X-rays and CT scans from radiology, cardiology, and other labs. As a result, all the 3D medical images can be accessed across hospital workstations and personal laptops.
3D rendering for X-rays and CT scans
Conversion of black-and-white images into 3D medical models takes just a few clicks. Once the X-ray or CT scan is uploaded, clinicians can set threshold attenuation values to define 3D detail, and let the platform scan each piece and create voxels reconstructing denser body fragments. This results in volumetric 3D medical images.
After rendering, clinicians can use a toolbar to manage objects: zoom in/out, add/remove skin, tissue, muscles, bones, and cut away excess parts. The primary tool, a cube, allows the image rotation for a more accurate view of the pathology.
Compatibility and security for DICOM files
Initially, we made sure that the web platform effortlessly works with DICOM files, the standard format for medical imaging management. Next, we enhanced security to safeguard the confidential health information they carry.
Our developers built a secure space to store imported DICOM files, encompassing patient details, diagnoses, treatments, dates, and test results.
ROI manager for highlighting pathologies
Our team developed an advanced ROI manager for highlighting pathology. Doctors can easily identify and outline tumors in 3D reconstructions, and measure lesion sizes for informed surgical decisions.
For precise segmentation, our developers set thresholds, pixel values, and previews. This allows for detailed 3D customization in form of reports with anatomical annotations and organ distance measurements helping more accurate surgical planning. In addition, practitioners can export and share 3D images based on the user access.
Results and business value
The 3D rendering platform allows professionals to monitor organs, evaluate tissue composition, assess fractures and thus diagnose diseases accurately. The platform generates detailed 3D medical imaging models and reports with anatomical annotations, as well as measures tumors, pathologies, and distances between organs for precise and effective surgical planning.
