BodyViz in Stereoscopic 3D
BodyViz is currently the only 3D MRI/CT software available in a stereoscopic version where users wear 3D glasses for incredible large-scale visualizations.
Current users of BodyViz in stereoscopic include the Texas Methodist Hospital in Houston, TX, running BodyViz on a 16 x 9 foot silver screen in what they call "Plato's Cave," and Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Center in Marshalltown, IA, displaying BodyViz on the 6 x 8 foot ROVR portable viewing screen.
Paul E. Sovelius, Jr., Clinical Imaging Informatics Specialist in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Texas Methodist Hospital, comments on BodyViz's usefulness for Texas Methodist as well as any other institution in search of 3D visualizations:
"BodyViz, a unit of Visual Medical Solutions, LLC has created a very unique state-of-the-art clinical visualization product that will have physicians who currently review 2D clinical images saying 'why didn't someone think of this before.'
The reality becomes patient d
ate in 3D stereo on a large screen as "Virtual Reality" and is the result of a continuum of technology development and integration tightly couples with clinical expertise coming together at a nexus. The clinical imaging software, visualization hardware and computing power have converged to a point where a few button actions on a game controller enable physicians to render a patient's data and make more informed decisions about where, how and with what instrument to intervene with in treating a patient.
This technology feat of BodyViz's, is the reason that we, in the Department of Radiation Oncology, at the Methodist Hospital-Physician's Organization, Houston, Texas are excited about exploiting and integrating BodyViz with a growing set of best practice Image Guided Radiation Therapy protocols, that the Chairman, Dr. E Brain Butler has envisioned.

This unique technology resolves the difficulty in accessing multi-modallity medical images, presenting the fused patients images in a physicians preferred profile format, consequently focusing the physician's clinical attention and knowledge on solving the patient's problem with simulation and visualization, and not spending their valuable time becoming a "geek" in order to use new tools."
