Swedish image enhancement developer ContextVision of Stockholm is collaborating with SharpView of Linköping, Sweden; Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston; and the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization (CMIV) in Linköping on a study examining advanced 3D image filtering.
The research will investigate advanced 3D image filtering as a means of increasing patient throughput and improving image quality in MRI, and further enabling dose reduction in CT by comparing 3D techniques with 2D filters.
The study hopes to demonstrate that 3D filtering can allow hospitals and practitioners to increase patient throughput for MRI, enabling one to two additional patient appointments per day.
For CT, the study will show that 3D image filtering can enable high-quality images at lower doses, increasing safety for patients and technologists.
