Clinical application
*** Disclaimer ***
As True Life Anatomy software can create a 3D model from patient scan data, it is classified as a Medical Device. Regulatory approval is pending, but in the interim, the system can be accessed using the Authorized Prescriber pathway where appropriate. Contact TLA for more details.
1. Patient is referred to Imaging Provider / Radiologist who performs CT Scan.
2. Radiographer uses TLA Generator_DCM program to create basic 3D TLA model from CT scan volumetric data.
3. Imaging provider saves TLA 3D model onto VPOPS USB card (or PACS – in the future).
4. VPOPS USB card contains patient 3D model, plus embedded software applications.
5. Clinician / Surgeon uses (free) TLA software to allow further model segmentation / fracture definition / artifact deletion, to create an advanced 3D model.
6. Clinician / Surgeon performs virtual surgery and can import 3D prosthesis data from vendor in a secure non-distributable format to allow 3D templating. Go to secure prosthesis details.
Basic steps:
Imaging Provider acquires TLA 3D creation software (TLA Generator_DCM)
TLA 3D model manipulation software applications supplied on pre-loaded VPOPS USB card
giving Clinician/Surgeon the ability to created and manipulate an advanced TLA 3D model for free
Prosthesis vendor can supply 3D prosthesis data in a secure non-distributable format to allow the Clinician / Surgeon
to perform 3D templating without the risk of IP theft
How to get TLA
A unique feature of TLA_VPOPS, is the ability to import 3D prosthesis data in a safe, secure and non-distributable format.
