Eccet

What escapes unseen with traditional Coloscopy?

In first part of the above movie, all seen surfaces are marked in white, so that in the second part (after turning around) you can see which parts were not seen.

Automatic detection of polyps in the colon

It is very important for the prevention of colorectal cancer to detect polyps in an early stage, as they can be predecessors of tumors.
Eccet/ColoTux can automatically detect polypoidal structures in the colon and colorize them, allowing for easy spotting when flying through the colon.
The algorithm is very robust and finds even small polyps.

Simple graphical user interface

The user interface of ColoTux has been reduced to the essential controls while still showing all original data, a 3D reconstruction and (on demand) an outside view.

Flying under water

Using contrast agents it is even possible to provide views of partially fluid-filled bowels.

High resolution Movies

Using Colotux you can render high definition pictures for documentation purposes or even render whole movies.

Coloscopy simulation monitor

Eccet can be used to monitor simulated coloscopy on an instrumented phantom.

VRML Worlds If you want to get a 3D impression of a colon dataset, you can download VRML worlds here. However, please note, that the quality of these worlds is very bad, due to the high compression that is required for bandwidth and client CPU power reasons. The originally 1GB of data is compressed down to 50-500kB (1:2000-1:20000 !). You need a VRML-Plugin to view these worlds.
