Medical
imaging refers to the techniques and processes used to create images of
the human body for clinical purposes or medical science. In diagnostic
radiology the purpose is to detect and diagnose disease, while in
interventional radiology, medical imaging is combined with other
techniques to treat certain diseases.
Medical imaging firms are incorporating DualAlign's novel computer
vision technology to detect, monitor or diagnose diseases in the
following ways:
- Optometrists and Ophthalmologists are able to register retinal fundus images taken of the same patient but several years apart, and then flicker the images in such a way that enables them to diagnose glaucoma earlier than any other available method.
- Aligning retinal fundus images and fluorescein angiography images in order to visualize and evaluate blood flow through the retina.
- Align one series of CT scans of a tumor with another series so as to enable the clinician to identify multiple diminsions of the tumor.
- Enabling radiologists to select cancer sites in one set of CT Scans and then automatically identifying these exact locations in future CT Scans so as to monitor the progression of cancer in the body.
- Registering 3D images over time so as to monitor the progression of diseases.
