Vea

Patient-specific 3D reconstruction

A compatible DICOM series becomes a three-dimensional model of that particular patient — not a generic atlas, not an illustration. Rotate it, clip it, isolate a chamber or a vessel, and look at the structure from the direction the question demands rather than the direction the scanner happened to use.

• Interactive reconstruction from the original series
• Clipping planes, thresholds and structure isolation
• Saved views that can be restored and shared with a colleague

Immersive virtual reality

The same reconstruction, viewed at true scale from inside. Depth and relative position stop being something you infer from a series of slices and become something you simply see. For teams, it also solves a smaller but persistent problem: everyone is looking at the same thing, from the same place, at once.

• True-scale exploration of the reconstructed anatomy
• Intuitive sense of depth, orientation and spatial relationships
• Well suited to case conferences and teaching sessions

Medical image exploration

The three-dimensional view never replaces the source data. Vea keeps the reconstruction and the original CT, MR or 3D echocardiography series alongside each other, so anything seen in the model can be traced back to the image it came from — which is the difference between a visualization and a picture.

• Review of CT, MR and 3D echocardiography datasets
• Standard DICOM series as the input, without a bespoke acquisition
• Cross-reference between the 3D scene and the source slices

2D and 3D measurement

Diameters, distances and areas, taken either in the conventional 2D views or directly within the three-dimensional scene. In a research setting the value is less in any single number than in being able to define a measurement precisely enough that a second reader produces the same one.

• Diameters, distances and areas in 2D and in 3D
• Measurements taken on the reconstruction the reader is actually looking at
• Suited to protocol-driven work across a retrospective series

Virtual implant positioning

A device or implant can be positioned virtually inside the patient-specific reconstruction to study how it relates to the surrounding anatomy. This is a spatial and educational exercise: Vea does not select a device, does not recommend a size and does not evaluate whether a procedure should happen.

• Study of fit, orientation and clearance within reconstructed anatomy
• Useful for research, rehearsal discussions and teaching
• Explicitly not a treatment-planning or device-selection function

Congenital and structurally complex anatomy

This is where three-dimensional review earns its keep. Congenital malformations and staged surgical repairs produce spatial arrangements that no standard view was designed to show, and that a written report struggles to convey. Being able to hand a colleague the structure itself changes the conversation.

• Malformed, repaired and post-surgical cardiovascular anatomy
• Conduits, baffles and anomalous vessel courses
• Teaching cases that are hard to explain on a flat display

Imaging workflow and PACS

Where the hospital environment technically allows it, Vea can be connected to a compatible PACS so cases arrive without a manual export step. What is possible depends entirely on your infrastructure and on your own information security rules, so we scope it with your IT team rather than promising it in advance.

• Access to datasets from a compatible PACS environment where supported
• Scoped together with your IT and information security teams
• Manual DICOM import always available as the baseline
