Media Studio Graz, a leading developer of custom LightWave plugins and 3D graphics software in association with NGC corporation, hasannounced the release of VoluMedic, version 1.5.

This is the first free update to the worlds first medical imaging software based on a commercial 3D application.

"This update marks a significant milestone in the ongoing development of VoluMedic", said Elmar Moelzer, the product developer of VoluMedic, Media Studio Graz software division. "We are very proud to introduce another industry first with this release, our set of Volume Painting tools. These powerful and innovative tools, make the manualsegmentation of complex datasets easier than ever before. This combined with the many other additions and improvements found in VoluMedic 1.5, further strengthens the position of VoluMedic as the most advanced and innovative solution in the growing medical imaging market."

New Features in VoluMedic 1.5 include:

  • New and improved Importer: DICOM™ file support has been improved and more vendor specific DICOM- filevariations are now correctly recognized by the importer. A new panel opens if theselected DICOM file is in a folder, that contains more than one series of DICOM files. This panel shows all possible series defined by Patient Name, Study-ID, Series Description, Series Number, the Convolution Kernel, as well as the Number of Slices for each series.
  • DICOMDIR- file support: If a DICOM series is accompanied by a DICOMDIR file, this file can now be selected for import (instead of a DICOM file). A new panel will open allowing the user to select oneof the series defined by the DICOMDIR file. This is now the recommended method for importing DICOM files into VoluMedic.
  • RAW file import has been improved: It is now possible to import RAW files that contain more than one slice in a single file.
  • There are more options for bit depth and bit order: Many otherwise unrecognized file formats can also be imported by specifying the header size.
  • New options for how to treat the individual channels help with managing the memory requirements of volumetric data.
  • New DICOM Info panel: Extra information (study and patient information) that was imported from DICOM files is now stored in VoluMedic's native file format and can be viewed in this new panel, which can be accessed from the VoluMedic Editor panel.
  • Volume Painting (patents pending): This is a new and very comfortable way for the manual segmentation of complex areas in a dataset. Just paint into the volume with three dimensional brushes. Lots of options and a fully editable paint history make this a very powerful tool currently not available in any other volumetric viz application.
  • Geometry to Volume Render Modes: These two new render modes in the Scalar Panel allow to render geometry into new or existing volumetric datasets.
  • New Bounding Box panel: This new panel can be accessed through the Object Properties of the Bounding Box object. There are new settings that allow to assign a bounding Box to a different Scalar Object or to change the Bounding Box shape. Two new shapes are available (besides the "old" Box Shape) "Sphere" and "Cylinder".
  • 64 Bit version:The size of datasets is now only limited by the amount of available system RAM.
