Materialise: New Version of the Mimics Innovation Suite

Materialise has launched the latest Mimics Innovation Suite of software and services, including Mimics16 and 3-matic8. The suite, which has the tagline  Engineering on Anatomy,  allows processing and editing anatomical data from CT and MRI scans. has never been easier! This release focuses heavily on adding new features and functionalities that increase efficiency and overall capabilities.

Now, 3D PDF files can be generated directly from the Mimics Innovation Suite for publishing 3D medical models in a universal file format for viewing, navigating and interacting. The release also improves the traceability of the segmentation process by incorporating a log that’s saved in a project file or as a separate document for training or recommending a workflow for similar cases.

In addition, new measurement tools have been added, including the ability to quantify elliptical shapes to export for advanced analyses, multi planar re-slice for comparing common clinical measurements from specific anatomical planes, curve planar re-slice to easily quantify a narrowing in a tubular structure, as well as exciting enhancements to the centerline tools.

For cardiovascular professionals, beginning with image data is helpful and the Mimics Innovation Suite’s new capabilities make it easier than ever before. With this release, users save time and increase consistency with semi-automated coronary segmentation tools and the mask morphing technology for 4D segmentation. In addition, there is improved visualization with a link between 3D view and fluoroscopy angles and tools for TAVI/TAVR valve sizing and planning.
