Vizua to Debut Cloud-Based 3-D Visualization Platform
Vizua will debut their cloud-based 3-D scan visualization platform at RSNA 2011.
New company Vizua will debut their cloud-based 3-D scan visualization platform at RSNA 2011.
The company, started at the beginning of the year, developed the platform to “extend 3-D imaging to anyone, anywhere, on any platform,” said Vizua CEO Dean Lester. Radiologists, physicians and patients can share and manipulate the interactive images online.
The platform takes the 2-D slices from traditional CT, MRI, ultrasound and PET scans and creates a 3-D reconstruction. It doesn’t require specific software or hardware, and users can rotate, magnify, label, and share the images.
“We do all the reconstruction, all the heavy lifting, in the cloud,” Lester said.
The company is touting the speed, image quality, and simple user interface of the new platform, which relies on consumer-grade graphic processing technology developed for the video game industry, said Lester. Vizua servers use those graphic cards to take traditional images and reconstruct them into a 3-D image in a few milliseconds.
“We are the ideal bridge between the high-end experience the radiologist has today and the other participants in the communication chain who in the past couldn’t really get to this level of image,” he said. The platform could be a differentiator for some imaging practices that want to provide their referring physicians and patients with the high-tech images, he added.
AI Facilitates Nearly 83 Percent Improvement in Turnaround Time for Fracture X-Rays
December 19th 2023In addition to offering a 98.5 percent sensitivity rate in diagnosing fractures on X-ray, an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) software reportedly helped reduce mean turnaround time on X-ray fracture diagnosis from 48 hours to 8.3 hours, according to new research presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.

December 4th 2020Rich Heller, M.D., with Radiology Partners, and Lucy Spalluto, M.D., with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, discuss the highlights of their RSNA 2020 session on health disparities, focusing on the underlying factors and challenges radiologists face to providing greater access to care.
Can AI Improve Detection of Extraprostatic Extension on MRI?
December 4th 2023Utilizing a deep learning-based AI algorithm to differentiate between diagnostic and non-diagnostic quality of prostate MRI facilitated a 10 percent higher specificity rate for diagnosing extraprostatic extension on multiparametric MRI, according to research presented at the recent RSNA conference.
Study: Regular Mammography Screening Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality Risk by More than 70 Percent
November 30th 2023Consistent adherence to the five most recent mammography screenings prior to a breast cancer diagnosis reduced breast cancer death risk by 72 percent in comparison to women who did not have the mammography screening, according to new research findings presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
