Volumetric Specimen Imaging (VSI) is a novel intraoperative technology for high-resolution true 3D imaging of surgical specimens. Compared to 2D specimen radiography and tomosynthesis, VSI generates a fully 3D (i.e., CT) image in real-time, allowing for multiplanar (MPR) viewing as well as advanced volume rendering visualization by surgeons and radiologists.
VSI offers the highest clarity thin slice cross-sectional images available which eliminate overlapping effects thereby elucidating subtle masses and micro-calcifications; this is especially beneficial for occult lesions and cases with dense breast tissue.
