CAD for Colon Makes its Debut


Viatronix Inc. will release enhancements to its V3D-Colon including a Colon CAD interface that reportedly seamlessly integrates CAD without any change in workflow, automatic measurement of maximum diameter/volume of polyps with morphology analysis, new “translucent view” color schemes that are said to be user-editable and a creation of reports compliant with C-RAD guidelines.

V3D comes ready to use as a "turn-key" Virtual Colonoscopy system. No setup or extensive computer knowledge is required, although all users must be trained in the use of V3D. All of the necessary hardware and software needed for interactive virtual diagnosis-based on supplied CT Colonography or MRI images-is contained in V3D.
