PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fovia, Inc.,
the developer of High Definition Volume
Rendering® and a world leader in imaging technology,
today introduced F.A.S.T.® Interactive
Segmentation. This innovation, powered by Fovia's high
performance XStream® HDVR®,
provides dynamic, real-time, interactive 3D segmentation.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can quickly create rich
visualization applications based on F.A.S.T. Interactive
Segmentation in areas such as quantitative imaging, radiation
therapy, surgical planning, robotic surgery, 3D Printing and
more!
F.A.S.T. Interactive Segmentation easily overcomes common
segmentation pain points and time-consuming processes. Prior
to F.A.S.T. Interactive Segmentation, radiologists typically
segmented regions of interest manually (which could take an hour or
more), or relied on "automatic" segmentation algorithms, which are
not failsafe, leaving radiologists with the extremely
time-consuming task of correcting "automatic" segmentations in 2D,
slice-by-slice—or ignoring the results altogether.
F.A.S.T. Interactive 3D Segmentation provides a complete
and intuitive interactive experience, enabling a user to quickly
and easily segment (and modify "on-the-fly" if necessary) anatomic
regions of interest. Continuous control of segmentation
parameters and access to instantaneous results via high fidelity 3D
rendering allow cases to be accurately segmented, adjusted and
analyzed in seconds. Additionally, F.A.S.T. Interactive
Segmentation is designed to complement existing, automatic
segmentation algorithms, allowing rapid, real-time "clean-up" of
data to meet radiologists' exacting requirements.
Whether used alone or in conjunction with other segmentation
algorithms, F.A.S.T. Interactive Segmentation allows
physicians to reduce complex case times from hours to seconds,
thereby expediting reporting and streamlining diagnoses.
F.A.S.T. Interactive Segmentation provides comprehensive
interactive feedback of dynamic segmentation results through
strategic use of Fovia's proprietary high performance
algorithms. As a result of this groundbreaking
implementation, developers can now create innovative segmentation
applications that were previously impossible to create.
"F.A.S.T. Interactive Segmentation takes advantage of our
high fidelity imaging to provide a totally new paradigm for quick,
accurate and efficient 3D segmentation," said Kevin Kreeger, Ph.D., Vice President of
Engineering. "We know that segmentation is a pain point for
our OEM customers, and we have created an innovative solution that
addresses their most significant issues. Now you simply click
on the object you want to segment, move the mouse until you see the
result you want, and that's it!"
See F.A.S.T. Interactive Segmentation at the 101st
Scientific Assembly & Annual Meeting of the Radiological
Society of North America,
November 29 – December 3, in Chicago (McCormick Place, North Building, Hall
B, Booth #7510). For more information, click here.
