Visible Patient Suite is medical imaging software that is intended to provide trained medical professionals with tools to aid them in reading, interpreting, reporting, and treatment planning. Visible Patient Suite accepts DICOM compliant medical images acquired from a variety of imaging devices, including CT, MR. This product is not intended for use with or for the primary diagnostic interpretation of Mammography images. The software provides several categories of tools. It includes basic imaging tools for general images, including 2D viewing, volume rendering and 3D volume viewing, orthogonal Multi-Planar Reconstructions (MPR), image fusion, surface rendering, measurements, reporting, storing, general image management and administration tools, etc. It includes a basic image processing workflow and a custom UI to segment anatomical structures, which are visible in the image data (bones, organs, vascular/airway structures, etc.), including interactive segmentation tools, basic image filters, etc. It also includes detection and labeling tools of organ segments (liver, lungs and kidneys), including path definition through vascular/airway, approximation of vascular/airway territories from tubular structures and interactive labeling. The software is designed to be used by trained professionals (including physicians, surgeons and technicians) and is intended to assist the clinician who is solely responsible for making all final patient management decisions.
