The all-in-one solution for 3D research and the home of the OrthoGnathicAnalyser.
3DMedX® makes is easy to load, edit and analyse Medical 3D images for research purposes. This software suite enables faster and more organized research
Some of the features
DICOM Reconstructions
The 3D reconstruction feature of 3DMedX® facilitates fast, simple and user-friendly 3D reconstructions using standard DICOM files from (CB)CT-scans or MRI scans. A 3D visual representation can be easily created using a Volume Render. Apart from instant Volume Rendering, it is possible to create a 3D Surface Mesh from the 2D image from a DICOM dataset. Using the MPR view a mask can be selected and altered to the demands of the user and by a simple click, a 3D mesh will be reconstructed. This accurate 3D Surface Mesh enables further image analysis.
Custom workflows
Apart from the standard 3D image analysis tools included the 3DMedX® Software Package, customized workflows can be created according to the wishes and requirements of the user. Especially for research purposes this feature enables the user to create an efficient and user-friendly manner to analyse 3D images and create automated measurement reports. Using the custom workflows feature it is possible to perfom image registrations, anatomical landmark identification, creation of colour coded distance maps between different 3D images and volume measurements. With the custom workflow builder developed in 3DMedX it is easy to create exactly the required analysis tool and efficiently calculate the desired results.
The OrthoGnathicAnalyser
3DMedX® is a perfect software tool to perform objective post-operative evaluation of surgical results based on the available 3D scans of a patient. One successful example of such a tool is the OrthoGnathic Analyser which is available in 3DMedX. This module provides a reproducible tool for the evaluation of orthognathic surgery, making it possible to compare individual results as well as larger patient groups in an objective and time-efficient manner. As most of the analysis tools included in 3DMedX®, the Orthognathic Analyzer is developed in an evidence-based manner. The OrthoGnathic Analyer is described in scientific literature as the most reproducible tool to perform objective 3D evaluation of surgical results in orthognathic surgery.
