Palo Alto, California, October 2, 2008
Fovia Medical, Inc., a world leader in volume rendering technology, announced that its CPU-based High Definition Volume Rendering® client/server solution easily exceeds existing industry limits for interactively rendering large volumes of data. The current upper limit for Fovia’s HDVR engine is 4096x4096x4096, far larger than the images being generated by state-of-the-art scanners, which typically generate volumes that are 512x512x”Z” voxels.
Although many volume rendering solutions claim they can handle thousands of slices, this is not the same as being able to interactively “render” them. Since other solutions are unable to truly render these huge datasets, they either downsample or resample sub-volumes of the original data. Fovia’s HDVR engine, on the other hand, actually renders these enormous volumes, resulting in superior image quality and performance.
Be sure to visit Fovia at RSNA in Chicago (November 30 through December 4, 2008, Booth #9546 in Hall B, North Building) for a full demonstration of High Definition Volume Rendering.
