Materialise Offers Mimics 12.1 for Medical Image Processing
 LEUVEN, Belgium,
Nov 18, 2008 - Twice a year Materialise, renown provider of innovative
software solutions, releases a new version of Mimics, their medical image
processing package. The new release, already version 12.1, contains again
powerful new features and focuses on linking medical images to finite
element applications.
Mimics 12.1 with many powerful new features
 Biomedical
engineers worldwide are increasingly interested in creating accurate finite
element models from image data. Mimics was already the tool of choice for
that, but Materialise was convinced it could be improved further. Therefore
Mimics 12.1 is now released with many advancements in this area;
- volume meshing capabilities
- export to the new ANSYS Workbench format
- export to the COMSOL format
Export to all other major FEA and CFD packages is of course still
possible.
Thanks to the introduction of its brand new volume mesher, Mimics 12.1
makes it possible to prepare scanner images for FEA/CFD simulation through a
single streamlined process. Transition from scans to instantly usable files
goes in five quick steps: segment the image data to create a 3D object,
optimize the surface mesh, generate volume mesh, assign material properties
and export the result to the FEA/CFD package of your choice.
Next to the improvements in the field of FEA, Mimics 12.1 also includes:
- a new flood-fill tool for easy segmentation
- a range of image filters to improve the quality of the images
- the ability to group and manipulate centerlines for the analysis of
arteries or airways
All in all many powerful new features, especially facilitating
image-based FEA applications, to perform realistic simulations.
