CliniX is a unique, specially developed viewing application for 3D medical data, which has a strong focus in orthopaedics. The application loads up an area of the body and shows the muscles, bones and ligaments for that area – the user can then rotate pan and zoom, in smooth real time, around the model showing any angle or position. Individual muscles or indeed any groups of structures can be highlighted or hidden to match the current needs of the user at any time – this can be done on the fly in the main 3D viewport or in a user friendly tree menu which shows the logical hierarchy for the model displayed. CliniX not only has normal anatomy displayed in this manner but also anatomy for disorders – the user can toggle between normal and disorder anatomy instantly at the touch of a button. Each model is comes with its own media library relating to that model – this library can contain x-rays, arthroscopic videos, still images or full blown 3D animations and movies – in fact the library is flexible enough to accommodate almost any media from graphs to video interviews and product brochures. We’ve gone to great lengths to make CliniX easy to use with minimal training – the user need only use the mouse to manipulate the entire application – there are no hidden features which require complicated keyboard interaction. Perfect 3D models of your products can also be incorporated into the model so an implant or a new anchor can be shown in the same interactive manner as the conventional anatomy – an entire surgical procedure could be loaded in as a series of sequential 3D models showing key points and anatomical detail, with interactive product manuals, animations and training to accompany it. CliniX is perfect for training and education adding a whole new dimension and richness of media which has obvious benefits for creating a compelling and useful educational experience. The application can also be used as a virtual briefcase of products for a sales representative – imagine a sales person armed with not just all their product brochures but all of their 3D virtual products set in anatomical environment. |
