Technology Challenges

Meeting the Technology Challenge

Human beings are chaotic systems. Chaos, as a scientific concept is constrained randomness. In ordinary conversation, chaos usually means total randomness or unpredictability. Both weather forecasting and human body anatomy and functionality are viewed as chaotic systems. In recent history, supercomputing technology has been used to look at chaos and successfully apply it to the analysis of organized chaotic systems, such as weather. In 1998, Ziosoft applied this powerful technology to analyzing the human body.

Other challenges also exist. In addition to being chaotic, the human body is also being studied by a myriad of imaging technologies which provide far greater data, but also result in scores of images. Analysis of so many images and the chaotic state of the human body offer extensive opportunities for supercomputing solutions – the basis of Ziosoft's PhyZiodynamic™ solutions.

Intelligent Interpolation

PhyZiodynamic technology does not compress image data. It employs intelligent interpolation to maximize image quality by using non-linear, voxel-to-voxel registration over time with multiple sampling points, based on a completely lossless image data set. PhyZiodynamics maintains all raw data enabling precise, accurate transformation of the actual image. There is no "guessing," but true representation of motion.

In comparison, other advanced visualization platforms often use linear "smoothing algorithms" based on lossy image data with a limited amount of data points to simply make the image look "nicer" and aesthetically reduce noise. In fact, certain smoothing algorithms inherently can introduce errors due to noise, texture and missing data. Valuable diagnostic information could be lost.

The Power of Supercomputing

Over the years, supercomputing has evolved from a large room of host computer hardware to a single, centralized CPU-based processing server allowing multiple concurrent users throughout the enterprise system. Ziosoft's supercomputing platform enables several significant advantages including:

  • Highest integrity image quality
  • Optimized efficiency allowing up to 8 concurrent users per server
  • Maximum cost effectiveness
  • Extensive range of regulatory cleared clinical applications.
  • Economical, scalable software solutions
  • Elimination of costly, multiple proprietary or specialized GPU rendering boards
  • Seamless integration with standard, off-the-shelf hardware
  • Optimizing the life of expensive modalities such as CT and MR.
