Medical Imaging XR
Medical Imaging XR is a VR/AR tool for exploring medical scans like CT,
MRI, Ultrasound, and more in detailed 3D. It lets you grab, scale, and
examine patient data in a fully immersive space.
User Interface
A
Import data
Opens data importing panel.
B
Save
Saves active dataset with all applied changes to the library.
C
Export
Exports active dataset with all applied changes to the library and the
desktop.
D
Load data
Loads a dataset into the VR environment. Press the button for the
desired dataset with the trigger to render it.
E
Delete data
Removes dataset from the library.
Medical Imaging XR Panel
The Medical Imaging XR panel is designed for setting tissue filtering
and windowing for DICOMs. Additionally, it provides tools to convert
DICOM data into a STL format for printing or further analysis.
A
Option Preset
Manages DICOM presets. Option preset is a saved configuration of
display and processing settings. Select, create, edit, or delete
built-in and custom presets here.
A Add
Saves your color schema, transfer function, edge filter, and
segmentation as a new preset. Point at the + button and press the
trigger to make a new preset. It will appear at the top of the list.
B Export
Saves the preset to your desktop.
C Preset
Loads a saved preset. Select it with the trigger to apply.
D Delete
Deletes the selected preset.
B
Transfer Function
Enables setting transparency and colors to specific Hounsfield Units
(HU) using color pins.
A Color Pins
They adjust transparency and assign colors to specific Hounsfield
Units (HU).
To add a pin, click on an empty spot on the graph.
To change transparency, move the selected pin vertically and release
the trigger. Transparency ranges from 0% to 100% on a logarithmic
scale.
To assign a specific color to an HU value, move the selected color
pin horizontally and release the trigger.
B Delete Pin
Deletes a color pin from the transfer function. Select the pin with
the laser, then press the delete pin button.
C Color Picker
Allows changing a pin's color. Select the pin with the trigger, then
choose a new color.
D Close Color Picker
Closes color picker.
C
Tissue filter
The tissue filter section adjusts the visible range of DICOM data
based on Hounsfield Units (HU). It also allows switching between
relative and absolute color values.
A Min HU
Adjusts the lower Hounsfield Unit (HU) value. Select the slider with
the trigger and move the slider left or right, then release. Use the
arrow to decrease/ increase the value by 1.
B Max HU
Adjusts the higher Hounsfield Unit (HU) value.Select the slider with
the trigger and move the slider left or right, then release. Use the
arrow to decrease/ increase the value by 1.
C Absolute/Relative
Switches between color modes. In absolute mode, colors are fixed to
specific Hounsfield Units (HU), so narrowing the HU range limits
visible colors. In relative mode, colors adjust to fit the current
HU window, keeping the full color range visible. Press the button
with the trigger to switch modes.
D
Transfer Function Preset
Manages DICOM presets. Transfer function preset is a saved
configuration of a transfer function and a color schema. Select,
create, edit, or delete built-in and custom presets here.
A Add
Saves your color schema and transfer function as a new preset. Press
the + button with the trigger to make a new preset. It will appear
at the top of the list.
B Preset
Loads a saved preset. Select it with the trigger to apply.
C Export
Saves the preset to your desktop.
C Delete
Deletes selected preset.
E
Mesh Generator
Converts DICOM data into a STL format for printing or further
analysis.
A Generate Mesh
Displays mesh options and a preview alongside the original dataset.
B Tissue
Allows setting the ISO Value to control which tissues appear in the
mesh.Press the button with the trigger and slide left or right.
C Mesh Quality
Balances mesh detail and STL file size. Press the button with the
trigger and slide left or right.
C Done
Adds generated mesh to the library.
C Smooth
Smooths out the created mesh.
C Export STL
Saves the mesh as an STL file. Press the button with the trigger to
export it directly to your desktop.
F
Edge Filter
Improves how clearly you can see where different tissues meet in DICOM
data. Move the filter left to show smooth areas. Move it right to
highlight where tissue changes quickly.
A Min Edge
Adjusts the lower edge value. Select the slider with the trigger and
move the slider left or right, then release. Use the arrow to
decrease/ increase the value by 1.
B Max Edge
Adjusts the higher edge value. Select the slider with the trigger
and move the slider left or right, then release. Use the arrow to
decrease/ increase the value by 1.
G
Quality Settings
Balance DICOM visual quality and app performance. Adjust the settings
to prioritize either image detail or smoother performance based on
your system’s capabilities.
A Quality For Volumes
Controls how many slices are used for rendering. At 50%, all
original slices are included. Above 50%, additional slices are
generated using interpolation to increase detail.
B Data Resolution
Controls the texture quality of each slice in the dataset.
H
Handle
Repositions the panel. Select it with trigger and release to set it to
a new position.
