- Questions related to technical issues
Q: Do I need to use workstations with high performances for running TomoShop® ?
A: No, you don’t. You need ordinal PC with the condition below.
- GPU (GeForce G80 or later version / Quadro4000 or later version)
- OS (Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8/10’s x86 or x64)
- ROM (at least 2Gib)
- Power source unit (more than 650W is recommended)
TomoShop® does not require any highly costing workstations, so that 
you could save your budget.
Q: What file formats can TomoShop® import or export?
A:
For importing, tiff, png, bmp, raw, float_bs, raw,..etc.
For exporting, tiff, DICOM, raw,..etc. IGES and STL will be available for exporting.
Q: Can I run TomoShop® with a PC with a multi-core processor
(XEON, 4core × 2CPU) ?
A: TomoShop® is run with only GPU, so it does not matter that your PC use any sort of CPU.
Q: Do the reducing artifact functions run through auto process or manual process?
A: Basically, the reducing artifact fanctions with TomoShop® are run through auto process, so that it correspond to many type of hardware.
Q: Dose TomoShop® support the step scan to shoot by dividing in vertical direction of the large sample?
A: TomoShop® can bind several volume data reconstructed separately.
Q: I want to use TomoShop® in the hospital, can I output DICOM format data from TomoShop®?
A: TomoShop® can output the data in DICOM format, and TomoShop® can be expected to use in the active cases of medical field.
Q: I want to create 3D models from DICOM CT Data by 3D Printer, can TomoShop® help me?
A: TomoShop® can output the data in STL format from DICOM, so TomoShop® can help to create 3D model by 3D printer.
☞ See detail page
However, our 3D solution software, TomoShop Viewer® could help STL conversion process, it does not have image reconstruction functions. If you are looking for the 3D solution soft without image reconstruction part and lower price, we recommend TomoShop® viewer for this case.

Q: How many images(1024 x 1024) can TomoShop® open at once
A: Basically there is no limitation of NO of opening image when your OS is 64bit. However, it is depend on the capacity of memory and type of GPU. For example, if you use Quadro4000, TomoShop® can open about 1000 images at once.
Q: When reconstructing with TomoShop®, can I specify low and high values in 16bit?
A: Yes, TomoShop® has functions that allows you to specify low and high values in 16bit.
Q: There is a way to convert it to a CT value or fixed value, is it possible to reconstruct from the range of CT value specified from the beginning with TomoShop® ?
A: Yes, TomoShop® has functions that can reconstruct by specifying Low and High values.
Q: Is it possible to manually change the stacking pitch of images when reading image volume data with TomoShop®?
A: It is possible. You can read the image volume data first and then change the voxel size.
Q: Is offset scan image reconstruction possible?
Q: How much is maintenance costs such as upgrading version, etc?
A: Basically, updating version is free within one year. Upgrading is not free.
Q: Are there any demo software available ?
A: Yes, there is a demo software for TomoShop Viewer (Pro) series are available.
