Rikei Corporation (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Satoru Isaka; hereinafter “Rikei”) is pleased to announce that it has delivered ”3dMD” (Head Office: the U.S.A., Chairman & CEO: Christopher Lane) a system that render photographic image in high-precision 3D data, to Regno Clinic SBC (Address: Chuo-ku, Tokyo) that is a new business category developed by Shonan Beauty Clinic Group.

Background of the Introduction

Regno Clinic SBC had had a problem that just doing conventional verbal counseling is not sufficient to fill a gap between pre and post image of a cosmetic surgery that a client has, and a problem could arise.

Therefore, Regno Clinic SBC has adopted a face-and-head 3D imaging system using 3dMD as a system for “scientific analysis” that complement deficiency of a verbal counseling. Prior to deciding a system to be installed, records of introduction for research institutes as well as performances were comprehensively compared, and 3dMD’s extremely high level of data precision was decisive factor of the adoption.

Product Outline of 3dMD

It is possible to combine images shot by 3dMD and output from a CT scanner, and simulate cosmetic surgery using the combined 3D image. With this 3dMD’s technology, it is also expected that a gap between an image expected by a client before surgery and actual image of after surgery will be mitigated as much as possible.

Features

• Capturing without laser light

Total capturing from a face to a whole body is possible.

• Ultrafast still-image capturing

Ultrafast still-image capturing without blur in 1.5 milliseconds is possible, even if a subject is difficult to come to rest (ex. infant etc.)

• 3D motion (4D) capturing

Equipped “Motion capture (*2)” function that can shoot 10 fps (* 1) movies without using a marker to be put on a human body.

• High precision 3D data

Data shot with 3dMD is ideal for measurement and research requiring high-precision data.

*1  10 fps: number of frames per second

*2   Motion capture: technology to digitally record the movement of actual person or object

Example of usage

Evaluate 3 dimensionally a change of surface condition between pre and post-surgery in fields of orthodontic and plastic surgery.

Future plan

Rikei will propose 3dMD to a cosmetic surgery field as well as medical university and laboratory of companies with proven track record of introducing 3dMD. In addition, Rikei is convinced that it is also possible to enter potential markets such as apparel, sports, animation, and game industries, not limited to medical field in the future.
