SITUATION

  • The manufacturer’s system faced major challenges. Customers gave negative feedback due to poor 3D visualization quality. This led to user frustration, and the system couldn’t meet growing market demands. Competitors with better 3D visualization solutions gained an edge. The manufacturer struggled to stay competitive.
  • Repeated efforts to upgrade the original source code for improved 3D visualization were unsuccessful.

Challenges

  • The existing codebase was hard to maintain. This caused frequent issues when updating or modifying the system.
  • The design was rigid and lacked flexibility for new capabilities.
  • Poor coding and design practices created significant barriers to progress.
  • These issues led to delays and inefficiencies, making it hard to adapt to evolving requirements or add new features sustainably.

SOLUTION

  • A new Linux-based C++ platform that leveraged Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) / Visualization Toolkit (VTK) libraries to achieve high-quality 3D rendering and interaction
  • Introduced DICOM interoperability enhancements and improved cybersecurity controls to meet FDA regulatory requirements

Results

  • New 3D visualization subsystem capable of providing improved rendering speed and image quality that also allows anatomical separation and image rotation for enhanced diagnostic analysis
  • New robust architecture will better support evolving market needs enabling manufacturer to stay ahead of the competition
  • Knowledge transfer of engineering best practices for design, coding and testing to internal team will ensure high-quality future releases
