Iowa Docs To Soon Use New BodyViz 3D Scans

Up in Iowa, doctors at Marshalltown Medical & Surgical Center are getting the new BodyViz 3D Visualization software to view CT and MRI scans of patients in full 3D interactive glory on their laptops.  KCCI Des Moines has an interview with the software developer, Eliot Winer, and some of the doctors.

He showed an example of how the BodyViz software can make a difference in helping doctors between understand a case. With the scan of a 6-month-old baby's abdomen, the software highlights dense tissue in bright white, drawing attention to something unusual.

“What you're seeing is this tumor,” Winer said. “What it's actually doing is squishing, moving her other organs to make space.”
