ABLE Software Corp. has announced a new version of its 3D-DOCTOR software for vector-based 3D imaging, modeling and measurement of CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance images), microscopy and volumetric images.
   
This software release features an enhanced modeling algorithm for quicker rendering and higher quality models; polygon-based mesh models are created from CT/MRI images in DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine); the new 'smooth shading' volume rendering can be used for real-time 3D image visualization; color and grayscale are supported; and new boundary tracing functions have been developed to speed and ease object boundary definition using a touch screen or a tablet, ABLE Sofware said.
