HDVI™ is based on non stationary adaptive filtering resulting in removal of unwanted speckle and noise whilst
increasing visualization of edges and small structures in volume data. HDVI™ uses a 3D processing algorithm that is
based on 3D matrix processing of volume data.
The essential feature of this 3D processing algorithm is matrix image processing which allows more accurate rendered
information calculated from the voxel data of the acquired volume data.
By using this calculation method, a clear and improved image is shown in the rendered and multi-planar views.
Mike Kammermier, Director of Product Management, Samsung Medison America, discusses the HDVITM technology available on Samsung Medison Accuvix XG. The technology provides clear 3D image rendering and multiplanar view, thereby increasing diagnostic confidence and display volume accuracy.
George Condous(Nepean Hospital, Sydney) discusses HDVITM, a technology that enhances clarity and contrast of 3D images. Besides the conventional applications of 3D ultrasound in diagnosis of uterine abnormalities, 3D with HDVITM has applications in evaluating pregnancies of unknown locations or early pregnancies and performing volume acquisitions for uteruses of women undergoing hysterectomy. Condous also shares about his positive clinical experience using Samsung Medison's V20 system for real-time uterine acquisition, nuchal transluceny evaluation, fetal abnormalities, and 3rd trimester growth.
HD Volume Imaging™ Performance
HD Volume ImagingTM (HDVI™) removes artifacts and incorporates a speckle reduction filter without compromising details but at the same time emphasizing the edge and structures. Therefore, 3D rendered image and multi-planar view provides an image quality with improved contrast and resolution. According to the result, it shows that the speckle noise of the image with HDVI™ is lower while the edge enhancement are higher, compared to the Original.
Additional effect of HDVI™ and OVIX™
HDVI™ image has amplified effect if used in conjunction with OVIX™(Oblique View eXtended). OVIX™ reduces noise and increases contrast by compounding multiple images. The pictures show the synergy of HDVI™ and OVIX™ when they are used together.
