3D Ultrasound using Stradwin 4.5

Structure of a talipes foot in 3D
Stradwin screenshot showing the 3D structure of unossified cartilege in a club foot (talipes equinovarus). Such information is useful for planning surgery to correct the condition. Further screenshots are available here.

Welcome to Stradwin, an experimental, cross-platform tool primarily for freehand 3D ultrasound acquisition, visualisation and elastography. Stradwin can also be used with 3D medical data of any sort: its segmentation and surface extraction facilities are particularly powerful. It can load most types of DICOM image files and has unique facilities to measure bone cortical thickness from CT data.
