The grant from Innovation Norway will enable Setred and Rikshospitalet to further develop Setred’s unique 3D display technology for a range of medical applications.

Recent years have seen rapid technological development within diagnostic imaging and other medical applications using visual information. In particular the ability to build 3D volume models from CT, MR and ultrasound has opened up new possibilities. One can now see realistic views of the patient’s interior. The driving force for this development is that radiology departments can handle more patients with the same staff, improve diagnosis, patient safety and quality of care.

Current display technology is a limiting factor when it comes to intuitive interpretation of medical scans. This can be overcome by introducing Setred’s 3D display technology where the viewer gets additional depth information.
