Anatomage Invivo 5 coming really soon!
|
Invivo 5
Invivo 5 is the new flagship product of Anatomage Inc. previously known as InVivoDental. Invivo is a DICOM viewer that can be used to view Cone Beam CT (CBCT) and medical CT DICOM data sets. It has different built-in dedicated modules to display and manipulate images. The new version packs many cool features. We’ve been playing with the software for quite sometime and we can say we’re impressed! We reported our experience to Anatomage and provided them with our input and feedback regarding the new version and we’re glad to say the company is listening. Many fixed has been added since the early beta. Expect the new version to be out very soon.
For those of you with faint hearts, here are some screen shots for Invivo 5.

how about circle of willis visualisation??
Hi Dr. Clouatre, are you trying to visualize circle of willis using a CBCT scan or a fan beam (medical) CT scan data set ? As far as I know, CBCT is good for visualization of hard tissues like teeth, bone and jaws; however, it lacks soft tissue contrast compared with medical CT.
InVivo 5 should be able to let you visualize soft tissue on CT scan just as you’d expect from a medical program. Beside orthogonal projections, it is possible to do curved MPR and it has different volume visualization presets that you can choose from. You can adjust the window and level to the HU range you select.
This is real revolutionary …Im a researcher in pediatric dentistry field…how do u suggest that CBCT can help in such field?
Hi Rania, there are many applications for CBCT. Cone Beam CT offers good visualization of teeth, bone, and jaws. The difference from conventional images is that now you can see patient head in 3D with no superimposition like you get with conventional images. From my own experience, CBCT for pediatrics can be used to evaluate teeth and growth development, craniofacial dysplasias like clefts or other hereditary conditions , orthodontic treatment and followup, impaction, and pathosis. I’m sure there are many other applications for pediatrics and as software gets better we’ll be able to do more in terms of research and treatment planning.
One thing to keep in mind, just like with any other modality that uses radiation to obtain the image, CBCT has higher radiation dose than conventional images and pediatrics patients are more sensitive to radiation than adults. It is always important to select the CBCT machine that offers the lowest radiation exposure while maintaining an acceptable image quality.
Thank you for your comment
