About Us

Imaging Reality, Inc. is using gaming technology to make 3D medical image viewing in virtual and mixed reality simple and practical. Our custom viewer capitalizes on the promise of virtual reality to increase the value and accessibility of standard 3D medical imaging techniques (MR, CT and PET) for doctors, surgeons, veterinarians, other health care and medical professionals, and their patients. By using the inherent advantages of this technology (immersive viewing, natural interactions and inherent understanding of volume, scale and relative positions), we want to improve health care for humans and animals by making 3D imaging more easily accessible to all concerned.

Founded by a veteran video game and consumer software developer, and a world renowned veterinarian, Imaging Reality was founded in 2017 to develop and commercialize a product that fits into the practice of any medical or veterinary professional interested in improving their use of 3D medical imaging for better patient outcomes.

Our Product

Virtual and mixed reality has been around for many years, but has only recently started to become practical for the mass market and desktop use. While its value is hard to describe, its impact is immediately recognizable to those who use it.

Human evolution has prepared us to interact in a 3D world using our eyes, ears and hands to observe and manipulate objects around us. Current media have forced us to learn how to interpret the 3D world in a 2D projection. While training can help us compensate for this limitation, virtual reality (the immersion of users into a fully computer generated environment) and mixed reality (the seamless integration of computer generated content into the user’s natural environment) eliminate the need for this.

In the case of 3D medical imaging such as CT, MR and PET, this can manifest as a much quicker understanding of the content of these images, making them more valuable to more health care professionals and their patients. By viewing and interacting with patient imagery in natural space using intuitive controls, users can get more out of the imagery more quickly and with less specialized training.

We support standard DICOM images for CT and MR imaging, and can reassemble large volumes in virtual reality for quick viewing and sharing. Multiple users in remote locations can view simultaneously and communicate in virtual reality to simulate group consultations directly with an accurate representation of the patient. Image filtering, window selection, scaling and slicing are all able to be performed and viewed in real time, allowing maximum control and flexibility.
