Californian pediatric healthcare specialistRady Children’s Hospital已经启动了新的数字成像和医学通信（DICOM）标准化软件。
由医院的内部创建海伦和威尔·韦伯斯特基金会3D创新（3DI）实验室, ‘Media2DICOM’将患者的3D模型转换为医生经常使用的DICOM文件共享数据。为此，该计划使医务人员可以更轻松地访问解剖学3D重建，节省时间，同时帮助他们量身定制治疗以改善儿童的临床结果。
“With the right resources, we’ve been able to develop software suited to the hospital’s needs, making it easier for physicians to access personalized 3D models and other information for excellent patient care,” said Justin Ryan, PhD, Director and Research Scientist at the 3DI Lab. “This is the first time a software like this has been created in a vendor-neutral environment, so it’s really exciting to see what’s next on this path of innovation.”
The 3DI Lab’s accessibility initiative
Based in San Diego, Rady Children’s Hospital is a national leader in pediatric healthcare that serves as a care provider to more than 280,000 patients, or around 91% of the region’s children. The hospital is home to a 3DI Lab that specializes in creating 3D models and prints based on CT scan and MRI data, which support precise surgical and interventional planning, and help improve patient outcomes.

The facility has also developed several models for surgical planning and the training of current and future physicians, including hearts with congenital defects viaStratasys’ J750 Digital Anatomy 3D printer。
最近，实验室的团队已将重点转移到针对使此类模型背后访问数据的方法上。目前，Rady儿童医院表示，通过“专业3D软件”无法访问通过行业标准成像系统创建的许多解剖模型。3DILab的新程序旨在通过将患者数据转换为标准化文件来纠正此问题。
行业第一转换软件
3DI LAB的MEDIA2DICOM软件是一种工具，旨在封装DICOMS中MP4，JPEG，PNGS，BMP和STL等文件。实际上，该计划通过允许临床医生可以使用本地存储或通过行业标准的图片归档通信系统（PACS）来归档3D模型来工作。
在此过程中，用户能够将患者的3D模型和3D数据集的视频转换为标准化的DICOM文件。然后将这些文件嵌入患者病历中，并可以通过医疗机构的PACS访问，在该医疗机构的PAC中也可以使用其他患者媒体（例如CT和MRI扫描）。
使用该平台，医生能够与患者的解剖结构进行查看和相互作用，从而使他们能够满足其独特生理的需求。While the hospital’s website says that the program “is for research purposes only” and “is not intended for diagnostic use,” it adds that it could save doctors a huge amount of time in a way that “impacts the lives of thousands of children.”
该软件现在可用，感兴趣的人可以免费下载Media2Dicom这里。Rady儿童医院向前发展，其3DI实验室也“正在努力使用3D打印来推进医疗图像”，以及“开发内部新颖的医疗设备和其他几个内部软件项目”。
Anatomical modeling with 3D printing
Rady儿童医院的3DI实验室现在是几家医疗机构之一，可以转向3D印刷模型，以帮助外科医生为手术做准备，并且患者更好地了解手术。为了促进这一过程，Stratasys已推出Digital Anatomy Creator这是一种旨在操纵材料编队并自定义内部结构以提高模型准确性的软件。
Elsewhere, thanks to the high level of color fidelity attainable via its UV inkjet technology,Mimaki3D printers continue to find clinical modeling applications. In June 2021, the佛罗伦萨大学和庞培revealed that they’d deployed one of its systems, alongside a unique algorithm, to develop accurately3D打印全色解剖模型。
再到2019年底，GE Healthcare partnered with Formlabsas well, to make it easier for clinicians to 3D print patient-specific models from imaging data. Through their collaboration, the firms began offering a bundle that incorporated Formlabs 3D printers and materials, as well as GE Healthcare’s Advantage Workstation software, for the preparation of such models before production.
