When applying this automated option with Synopsys' ScanIP software to run their analysis, users will easily see a 20 to 50 times faster rate of segmentation for clinical images. This revolutionary technology is fully scalable, and while helping to achieve more consistency and increased reliability in biomechanical compatibility, it can also dramatically streamline the workflow process in both pre-surgical planning and medical device design. What is Synopsys Simpleware Software All 3D image processing tasks begin with core module Simpleware ScanIP for 3D image import and segmentation. Users will thus achieve significant cost-savings in the product development cycle. Seamlessly combine Simpleware ScanIP with a choice of add-on modules to expand your workflow, including: FE mesh generation, CAD integration, NURBS export, and calculating effective material properties.

Image Segmentation Using Simpleware ScanIP The 3D residual limb model was created using Synopsys' Simpleware ScanIP (Synopsys, Mountain View, USA).

'Image segmentation of MRI and CT scans presents a significant challenge for our surgical and engineering multidisciplinary teams. We're excited to collaborate with the Simpleware product group at Synopsys for solutions to this challenge,' said Johann Henckel MD, Orthopedic Surgeon, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, UK. Specialized tools like Simpleware ScanIP are used again for the second critical stage: verifying that a 3D printed model accurately matches what was designed on the computer. 'What is currently a laborious process that occupies significant engineering resources and time can now be completed quickly, accurately and with less variability, promising a scalable solution for generating high-fidelity patient specific models, surgical tools and bespoke implants.' Based on research by the journal Orthopedic Surgery, total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) in the USA will grow from 719,000 in 2015 to 3.48 million by 2030, while total hip arthroplasties (THAs) will almost double from 332,000 to 572,000 in the same period. MRI and CT scans come into play again, scanning the 3D printed part externally and internally. This new ML-based product offering is an exciting new step for Synopsys' role in these fast-growing healthcare medical markets.
