GE’s premium Advanced Visualization and
Image Processing platform brings you even
more powerful 3D capabilities to help you
visualize and interpret your multimodality
imaging data with confidence and ease.
Overview
Volume Viewer provides state-of-theart 3D visualization and processing
capabilities for reading and comparing
CT, MR, 3D X-ray, PET, and PET/CT
datasets. Volume Viewer also features
a broad portfolio of high-performance
analysis tools, automating routine tasks
and helping to make 3D image
processing a stress-free component of
your routine workflow.
Today’s imaging modalities provide a wealth of diagnostic
information, but also present a challenge to your Radiology workflow
as patient exam sizes continue to increase while your time for
reading and reporting decreases. Volume Viewer provides you with a
rich 3D image processing toolset aimed at creating and displaying
the views you need with minimal user input, and streamlining
interpretation and reporting for multimodality exams.
Powerful SW platform for multi-
modality clinical applications.
Streamlined 3D review
workflow.
Automatic image loading and
processing.
AutoSelect segmentation tools
with easy point and click
segmentation of structures of
interest.
Multi-modality contouring.
Dynamic Load.
Consistent image capture
capability.
