Medical Image Data Segmentation/Development

Overview

  • For projects involving medical imaging data (CT, MRI), TEAM offers expertise in anatomical structure segmentation, with continued support for further development.
  • With over 15 years of experience, we specialize in developing anatomical models for surgical pre-planning and medical device development.
  • In addition to segmenting anatomical structures from DICOM data, we can perform custom edits and refinements tailored to your specific requirements.
  • We also design patient-specific models and objects derived from scan data

Utilizing DICOM data, a recognized standard in medical imaging, TEAM produces 3D reconstructions of segmented patient anatomy, digitally realizing intricate visualizations of patient-specific structures. These high-fidelity 3D models are frequently used in conjunction with our 3D printing capabilities for applications including surgical pre-planning, patient education, and other individualized clinical interventions. By providing such precise and patient-specific models, surgeons are better equipped to assess anatomical variability and subsequently optimize surgical strategies and outcomes. Furthermore, we can manipulate the digital data to rectify anatomical defects or simulate alternate anatomical scenarios for pre-operative planning. This data also facilitates the development of patient-specific medical devices, including orthotics, and other assistive devices.

Rates

  • Note: We strongly recommend submitting a service request to obtain an accurate project cost estimate. Self-quoting can often lead to miscalculations

Our development services come with a simple per-hour rate defined in the chart below.  We assess a 1 hour minimum, then to the nearest quarter hour.  

 DescriptionInternalExternal
Professional Engineer Development TimeDesign time, machine setup, etc.$119/hour$160/hour
Student Development Time*Design time, machine setup, etc.$30/hour$40/hour

*Student development time may not be available, or applicable to all projects.  The TEAM lab will leverage it where possible.

 

Estimating project cost should be left to TEAM, but here are some general project development estimates that can guide in self-estimating:

Relative Project ScaleDevelopment HoursDevelopment Expenses*, **

How to Leverage this Service

Please package your DICOM files into a zip, and submit via our service request system.  Pair this with a description of the anatomy you wish to realize and any additional goals you wish to achieve.
