The Volume Viewing software is a visualization package for PACS workstations. It is intended to support the medical professional in the reading, analysis and diagnosis of DICOM compliant volumetric medical datasets. The software is intended as a general purpose digital medical image processing tool, with optional functionality to facilitate visualization and measurement of vessel features.
Other optional functionality is intended for the registration of anatomical (CT) on a second CT dataset or on functional volumetric image data (MR) to facilitate the comparison of various lesions. Volume and distance measurements are intended for evaluation and quantification of tumour measurements, and other analysis and evaluation of both hard and soft tissues. The software also supports interactive segmentation of a region of interest (ROI), has a dedicated tool set for lung lesion segmentation, quantification and follow-up of lesions selected by the user and provides tools to define and edit paths such as centerlines through structures, which may be used to analyze cross-sections of structures, or to provide flythrough visualizations rendered along such centerline.
Caution: Web-browser access is available for review purposes. Images accessed through a web-browser (via a mobile device or by other means) should not be used to create a diagnosis, treatment plan, or other decision that may affect patient care.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
