3D imaging & computing – DNA-HIVE

3D imaging & computing

Our advanced medical imaging solution is designed to make imaging an integral part of clinical and research workflows with the help of artificial intelligence, data fusion, 3D visualization, and augmented reality. The system is designed for easy customization, expansion, and enabling integration with various third-party tools; making it a versatile solution for clinical use, research, and applications seeking regulatory compliance.

Collaborative 3D Review Environment

 

The system offers an innovative shared 3D environment, where multiple clinicians can collaborate in real-time in reviewing data and creating treatment plans. Unlike traditional 2D document-sharing platforms, this system allows users to engage with 3D models of patient data at the same time. Clinicians can make annotations, take measurements, and discuss various aspects of treatment plans in the same virtual 3D space. This collaborative tool helps improve decision-making, especially for complex procedures, allowing specialists from different fields to contribute their expertise during the planning phase.

 

 

Image fusion

 

Reviewing different types of medical images and time points from the same patient is crucial for evaluating complex cases. Instead of showing images side-by-side, HIVE combines all available data sets and presents them in a single shared 3D workspace. It extracts key information from each data set, aligns them spatially, and displays the combined information in fused views.

 

Virtual Models from AI-Assisted Image Segmentation

 

HIVE allows clinicians to create highly detailed virtual 3D models of a patient’s anatomy with minimal effort via manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic AI-assisted segmentation. These models provide clear, comprehensive visualization of complex anatomical structures that may help clinicians better understand the unique needs of each patient and make better decisions.

 

 

Augmented Reality for Real-Time Navigation

 

HIVE offers 3D models for use in augmented reality (AR) applications to guide surgical procedures. These models can display a patient's anatomy and the surgical plan in their actual physical location, providing the surgeon with a clear view of the patient's anatomy and enabling accurate identification of entry points, progress tracking, and adjustments to the surgical plan as needed.

This AR-driven guidance has the potential to reduce the risks associated with invasive procedures by enhancing the surgeon's understanding of the patient's anatomy, potentially leading to less invasive treatments and lower morbidity. Real-time feedback provided by AR can also help surgeons make faster, more confident decisions during complex procedures, ultimately reducing the likelihood of complications.HIVE provides 3D models for augmented reality (AR) surgical guidance.

These models can be used to display the patient’s anatomy and surgical plan in their actual location inside the patient. By overlaying a virtual map onto the physical body, surgeons can accurately identify entry points, track progress, and adjust plans while keeping a clear view of the anatomy. These can help surgeons make quicker, more confident decisions during complex surgeries, thereby potentially making procedures faster and less invasive and lowering complications.

 

 

Extensible Platform for Integration with Third-Party Tools

 

A standout feature of the system is its extensibility, which allows the integration of various custom or third-party tools. Whether for research or clinical use, the platform is designed to be flexible, allowing teams to customize workflows and add new features as needed. The platform ensures that teams can adapt it to a wide range of applications, from preclinical research to clinical trials. Moreover, the system is designed to evolve alongside the rapid advancements in medical technology, ensuring long-term usability and scalability.
