We have a new server, with better hardware! Please visit: http://studierfenster.icg.tugraz.at

Here you can take a look at three axial CTs of COVID-19 cases. Just click on one of the buttons and the respective case will load automatically in the Medical 3D Viewer. So this is also a great way to try out the viewer, even if you do not have a volume file at hand. The cases are part of a dataset that can be freely used and is available here.

The “Dicom Browser” allows parsing a local folder with DICOM files. Afterwards, the whole folder can be converted to compressed .NRRD files and downloaded as a single .zip file. It is also possible to select specific Studies or Series, and only convert these.

We chose the compressed .NRRD format, because it contains only the image data. All patient DICOM tags will be removed. The compressed .NRRD files can then be opened with the “Medical 3D Viewer”, for visualization in 2D, 3D and further processing.

Note: The “Dicom Browser” is completely client-sided. No data is transferred to our server during the conversion!

Here the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) and the Hausdorff Distance (HD) between two segmentation masks (in .nrrd format) can be calculated.

The File Converter, converts a medical volume file (e.g. a non-compressed NRRD) to a (compressed/binary) NRRD. The compressed NRRD can then be used for example with our Medical 3D Viewer.

The 3D Skull Reconstruction performs an automatic cranial defect reconstruction via our cloud platform with Deep Learning. The main steps are:

• Choosing a defected skull dataset
• Converting the image dataset (NRRD) to a mesh
• Choosing a defected skull dataset again
• Perform the skull reconstruction with Deep Learning on our sever
• Perform the implant generation (subtracting the defected skull from the reconstructed)

Afterwards, the implant can be downloaded and opened for example in MeshLab for further post-processing, like removing noise.

The Medical VR Viewer allows viewing medical data in Virtual Reality (VR), for example with the Google Cardboard or the HTC Vive (via the WebVR App). However, you need to convert your (medical) data (e.g., in NRRD format) to the VTI (.vti) format. This can be done with ParaView.

The 3D Face Reconstruction module allows registering two facial meshes.

The Medical 3D Viewer allows viewing of medical data (CT, MRI, etc.) in 2D and 3D (Volume Rendering) directly in a standard Web Browser. More enhanced functionalities of the 3D Viewer are the manual slice-by-slice outlining (segmentation) of structures in medical images (brush and contour modes available) and the manual placing of Landmarks in medical images. More sophisticated features of the 3D Viewer are the inpainting of Aortic Dissections with a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and the automatic aortic landmark detection with Deep Learning in CTA (Computed Tomography Angiography) scans.
