IBEX’s 3D Reconstruction Engine generates the most accurate reconstructions, with unparalleled HU uniformity, contrast, and noise, even at reduced dose. The state-of-the-art technique takes a unique AI and physics-based approach to tomographic reconstruction which considers the true origin of noise and artefacts to deliver high quality 3D volumes with minimal artefacts and low noise.

Applicable to all tomographic X-ray systems including Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), Digital Radiography Tomosynthesis (DRT), and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) systems, the software includes a range of artefact correction plugins such as metal and ring artefact reduction, beam hardening correction.

The IBEX 3D Reconstruction Engine also incorporates more advanced features including foreign object removal which can be used to remove casts, shoes, clothing, and any other unwanted objects from the volume.

Delivering the very latest in advanced reconstruction techniques and artefact correction methods to FPD-based tomographic systems, the goal of the engine is to bring the image quality closer to that of multi-slice CT. Advanced post-reconstruction tools allow clinicians to bridge the gap between 2D and 3D imaging by generating fast, clear, and efficient visualisation of volume data with a familiar DR-style presentation.

Advanced Artefact Correction

The Trueview® 3D Reconstruction Engine includes a range of powerful and accurate artefact corrections to deliver the highest possible image quality. This includes state-of-the art noise management, scatter and beam hardening corrections and advanced metal artefact reduction.

Iterative Reconstruction Methods

The IBEX Trueview® 3D Reconstruction Engine includes iterative reconstruction methods to actively reduce noise and artefacts and deliver the very best image quality.

It is designed with a flexible 3D geometry to cover all tomographic imaging modalities, including cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), digital tomosynthesis (DRT), and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) applications.

Advanced Visualisation

The 3D Reconstruction Engine offers a package of advanced post-reconstruction visualisation tools to project 3D volume data into high quality 2D digital radiographs.

This method, known as Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRRs), provides a means of offering quick and clear visualisation of 3D volume data, with the same image quality as found in regular digital radiography and with no limitation on viewing angle or orientation.

The DRR package uses a range of AI methods and segmentation tools, coupled with advanced multi-frequency image post-processing methods to deliver excellent image quality of projected 3D volumes.
