Various types of scans are accepted (CT, CBCT, MRI, micro-CT) and can be processed with a choice of 3D imaging softwares. We will discuss the planning of the project with the client.
Segmentation, a specific procedure allowing the extraction of specific regions of interest, will be performed in order to generate a 3D model.
The 3D model will be available and can be used for enhanced visualisation of a patient's scans, and for 3D printing, aiding for example preoperative surgery.
Different types of printers and materials are available for 3D printing (filament, resin, powder). Our team will advise on the best choice according to the needs and the budget.
• Scan files to be provided in DICOM or TIF format.
• For CT scans particularly:
- Resolution and slice thickness are important parameters that can hinder the processing and 3D printing of a scan.
We do not guarantee a result for CT scans with significant slice thickness (3-6 mm).
- Preferably one stack of files.
This service entails receiving scans (CT, CBCT, MRI, micro-CT) and processing them using 3D imaging softwares to perform data collection services according to a defined research protocol. See below if you need help designing the data collection protocol for your research.
Procedures, such as segmentation, alignment, can be performed. Segmentation is a pre-requisite for any analysis based on scanned data, as it allows the extraction of regions within the scan by defining the contour of structures of interest (e.g., bone, dental tissue, etc.). Measurements, as well as landmarking, can also be performed.
• Scan files to be provided in DICOM or TIFF format.
• For CT scans particularly:
- Resolution and slice thickness are important parameters that can hinder the processing of a scan. We do not guarantee a result for CT scans with high resolution or significant slice thickness
(2 – 6 mm).
- Preferably 1 stack of files.
