Synopsys updates Simpleware 3D image processing software

Synopsys recently announced version T-2022.03 of its Simpleware 3D image processing software, which is used in life science and advanced materials and manufacturing applications.

Improvements in the new version of Simpleware announced by the Mountain View, California-based company earlier this month include:

Simpleware AS Ortho Shoulder CT Auto Segmenter

The Shoulder CT Auto Segmenter has fully automatic AI segmentation of shoulder CT scans; segmenting of the humerus, scapula and clavicle; automatic positioning of anatomical landmarks; and automatic region-of-interest detection to speed up inference.

2D Contour Measurements

2D contour creation from straight lines, splines, and active contours, and D-shaped contours for computing dimensions of D-shaped annulus make this an effective tool when used in conjunction with multi-planar reconstruction, Synopsys said.

3D Printing

The pins and sockets tool easily generates interlocking 3D parts for printing, modifies pin and socket geometries before and after pin placement, and smooths the workflow in exporting parts for 3D printing, Synopsys said.

Simpleware AS Cardio

Aortic valve characterization offers efficient analysis of aortic valve location and dimensions, computation of annulus plane, aorta cusp plane and ostia distances; and computes centerline analysis, including sinus of valsalva and sinotubular junction, Synopsys said.
