DICOM Add-On
The new Evergine release provides a new add-on that adds support for the DICOM medical imaging format.
DICOM is the most adopted file format for medical imaging. Back in the days, the manufacturers of computed tomography and magnetic resonance devices provided their own solutions for the storage and transmission of images. DICOM came as the first effort in the industry to crate a standardized format that everyone could adopt.
The DICOM standard specification has been growing over the years to meet the requirements of manufacturers and medical professionals. The current specification is very extensive: over 6000 pages and 22 chapters.
This add-on has been developed to fulfil the requirements of our clients in the medical and dental industry.
Features
Load ZIP archives
The add-on has been designed for ease of use. Just load any ZIP container with the DCM files.
We use the DCMTK C++ library under the hood. The loading process is very fast.
3D visualization
Visualization of the DICOM in 3D using custom volumetric raytracing.
2D slices visualization
Visualization of the 2D X, Y, Z slices.
Density Range Control
Allow professionals to control the density range the need to visualize.
Seamless interaction with other objects in the scene
Our DICOM models are blended together with other objects in the scene. Occlusions between the DICOM and other opaque objects works as you would expect.
