ORS Visual is a proprietary software application developed by Object Research Systems (ORS) Inc. that can be is used for the display and 3D visualization of medical image data derived from CT, MRI, and other modalities. It provides for the communication, storage, processing, rendering, and display of DICOM 3.0 compliant image data. ORS Visual, which is available in 32 and 64-bit versions, can be installed on a standard personal computer running the Windows operating system with the Microsoft ActiveX component and suitable graphics hardware. Available functions include DICOM communication, display of 2D images in orthogonal and oblique planes, computation and display of rendered 3D images and maximum intensity projections (MIPs), and 2D and 3D image measurements. The user interface follows typical clinical workflow patterns that include searching for patient data, reviewing and analyzing digital images, and reporting findings. The user controls these functions with normal mouse-click conventions, a system of context-based tools, and on-screen prompts. A standard layout for image display, navigation, and information is used throughout the application.ORS Visual also offers users two separate add-on modules to address specific vascular clinical functionalities: Vessel Analysis, an add-on solution for vascular analysis and stent-graft planning of CTA studies, and Autoplaque, a cardiac plaque and lesion quantification tool.
An individual software application intended to be installed on a central server as part of a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) to allow storage, retrieval, analysis, and management of radiological images. It is designed specifically for use within radiology.
