ScanIP™ Software

ScanIP image processing software provides an extensive selection of image processing tools to assist the user in visualising and segmenting regions of interest from any volumetric 3D data (e.g. MRI, CT, MicroCT). Segmented images can be exported as STL files for CAD analysis and RP manufacturing or, with the ⁺ScanFE module, imported directly into leading commercial finite element packages.

Important new features of ScanIP Version 2.1 include:

Level set methods - The level set method segmentation tools allow segmentation based on implicit surfaces. Contour specific features (e.g. curvature) can therefore be controlled during the region growing/surface adjusting process Increased smoothing capabilities and control of existing algorithms Grayscale preserving masks increase fidelity and smoothing - When possible, masks will attempt to preserve data originating from the background in order to provide more accurate and smoother surfaces Ability to handle multiple backgrounds - It is now possible to duplicate background images and apply different filters on each of them, therefore bringing more flexibility to the segmentation process Improved histogram and profile line functions assist in finding the best threshold values

Better understanding of filter parameters thanks to more extensive tool tips Improved visibility of masks in the 3D view (on, off or transparent) Quick access to tools via improved icon toolbar
