Advanced obstetric visualization
Tools for photorealistic fetal rendering
Dr. Michael Ruma, of Perinatal Associates, New Mexico, explores the use of Philips TrueVue, Philips TouchVue, Philips GlassVue, and Philips
Philips TrueVue, with its virtual light source, is a proprietary advanced 3D ultrasound display method that delivers amazing lifelike 3D ultrasound image and gives the operator the ability to move the light source anywhere in the 3D volume. The flexibility of the light source allows the user to manipulate light and shadow on anatomical structures to enhance clinical confidence and may foster maternal-fetal bonding.
TrueVue’s presentation is more “lifelike” than traditional rendering algorithms.
With TouchVue, an interactive interface, users can utilize the system’s touch panel to allow fingertip control of both volume rotation and position of the internal light source directly on the TrueVue 3D image.
Easily manipulate images using the touch panel.
Philips GlassVue, with internal light source, provides an early, more transparent view of the fetal anatomy than traditional ultrasound. The advanced 3D imaging tool goes beyond the surface to reveal bone, organs, and other internal structures. Users have control over a flexible light source and the amount of transparency in the 3D volume.
GlassVue illuminates early OB.
Philips aReveal automatically sculpts away extraneous data around the fetal face by recognizing the geometry of the skull. One touch reveals the face and one touch reverses the process. aReveal works with both TrueVue and traditionally rendered 3D volumes.
