EchoPixel True 3D enables physicians to see and interact with medical images the way they would with real physical objects.

Envisioning the future of patient care todayWhen a physician examines a CT, MRI, or any other 3D modality image, they’re piecing together multiple 2D perspectives—or 3D perspectives on a 2D screen—to imagine a patient’s 3D anatomy. That mental leap means they’re forced to make assumptions about what the patient’s evaluated anatomy truly looks like—which can slow down workflow and open the door to overlooking critical clinical information or anatomical relationships.

What if these physicians could use technology to virtually examine and interact with their patient’s anatomy in three dimensions, without making a single cut? That’s not the future. That's EchoPixel True 3D today.

EchoPixel and HP are collaborating to enable physicians to see and interact with medical images the way they would with real, physical objects. EchoPixel True 3D is an FDA cleared system1 powered by the HP Zvr Virtual Reality Display and HP Z440 Workstation.2

The system uses existing medical image datasets to give physicians an interactive, three-dimensional solution that may make reading medical images more intuitive, help physicians reach a diagnosis, and assist in complex surgical planning applications.

Inside look at medical imaging's next evolution EchoPixel True 3D, powered by HP, uses a wide variety of current medical digital image datasets to enable radiologists, interventional cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists, and other surgical specialists conducting image guided surgery (among others) to see patient specific anatomy in an open 3D space. The system works by using four cameras to track the user’s head movements, glasses to turn images into 3D visuals, and a stylus to let users move and interact with objects in real time.

Users will also benefit from the lifelike detail of the HP Zvr Display and the power of the HP Z440 Workstation, which features a perfect mix of HP Z DNA with up to 8 discrete processor cores, up to 128 GB of RAM, and multiple storage and PCle configurations which provide real-time interaction and response.

Specialized toolsEchoPixel True 3D is equipped with a series of specialized tools to help optimize the intuitive interaction and understanding of 3D images.

• Freehand clip plane control creates cross sections in volume and 2D multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) views—so physicians can quickly drive their view along any oblique perspective without being limited to axial, coronal, and sagittal views

• Object measurements calculate the surface area and volume of selected anatomy using lines, poly lines, splines, orthogonal diameters, angles, and advanced tools that fit patients’ anatomy

• Region growing segmentation allows physicians to create a 3D surface model of patients’ anatomy and select areas of interest

• Centerline extraction determines the center path along a 3D surface model

• ROI selection lets physicians select and focus on an area of interest and updates the image to display across all visualization modes

• Customize your workflow by saving and editing transfer functions

• High-end 3D professional graphics take productivity to a new level3

• Two power supply options include two power cables for high-power professional graphics

Visualization modesPhysicians can change how the image data is represented so it adapts to their specifi c application. On any visualization mode, an orientation box and information panel helps guide physicians.

• Radiology view optimizes the display for radiology applications

• Surgery view optimizes the display for surgical applications

• Intuitive 2D shows a spatially registered 2D MPR, maximum intensity projection (MIP), and minimum intensity projection (MinIP)

• True 3D shows a virtual volume rendering, MIP, and MinIP

• Slab shows a partial volume view

• Haptic annotation allows physicians to accurately and precisely mark, label, and measure objects

Functional/interaction featuresHP hardware with EchoPixel True 3D enables physicians to interact with medical images as if they are real, physical objects.

• Object picking moves and rotates objects

• Pan slides objects along the X, Y, and Z-axes

• Window width/window level adjusts 2D MPR views

• Transfer function dial fi nely adjusts the volume rendering transfer function

• Bookmark/label marks and adds a textbox to objects

• Rotation spins objects in any direction for diff erent perspectives

• Zoom in/out scales objects for a wider or tighter view
