Axial3D and GE HealthCare signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to bridge the gap between MRI images and 3D patient-specific outputs. This collaboration marks a step into the field of medical imaging and visualization, with the goal of offering insight into patient anatomy and paving the way for clinicians to offer more precise diagnoses and treatment planning.
The partners will combine GE HealthCare’s MRI-based oZTEo bone imaging application with Axial3D’s FDA-cleared imaging segmentation platform to support radiation-free 3D visualizations and 3D printing of patient-specific anatomical models. This collaboration aims to reduce the need for up-front investments in 3D printing equipment, software and personnel and may reduce OR time.
One long-term goal is to make 3D outputs accessible across various MRI methods in electronic and 3D-printed formats, to help clinicians improve outcomes through patient-specific solutions.
Dan Crawford, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer for Axial3D, stated, “We are beyond excited to be collaborating with GE HealthCare on an endeavor that has the potential to transform orthopedic care. Collaborating with GE HealthCare allows us to forge a path where, in the long run, 3D patient-specific outputs may become standard, offering customers advanced solutions for MRI imaging aimed at enhancing clinical decisions and patient care.”
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Axial3D to bring this innovative solution to healthcare providers,” said Anja Brau, PhD, GM, MR Clinical Solutions & Research Collaborations for GE HealthCare. “This collaboration reinforces our dedication to improving patient care by providing radiation-free, MRI-based solutions for orthopedic imaging. Our oZTEo imaging application augments the traditional soft tissue detail of MRI with bone information, from which healthcare providers can generate 3D digital or physical models that aid in surgical planning and patient education.”
