Process

How it works

  1. 1

    Send a brief

    One page describing the question, the imaging you hold and your target date.

  2. 2

    Scope and quote

    A written scope naming the deliverables and the price, with a study data declaration.

  3. 3

    Data received

    De-identified imaging is checked on arrival. Subjects that cannot support the measurement are named before analysis starts.

  4. 4

    Work and review

    The work runs to the agreed protocol. Intermediate results, such as landmark placements, come back for your review.

  5. 5

    Report and figures

    The report, with figures, tables and methods text.

Questions

Questions

Who is this for?
Clinical researchers, postgraduate candidates and academic departments who need imaging, 3D, simulation or measurement work they cannot do in house. It is for studies. A single patient goes through the clinical route at Solutions.
Do we need ethics committee approval before starting?
Approval, or a documented waiver, is needed before study data is accepted. The approval is held by you as the investigator. Protocol and imaging design can be discussed before approval is in place.
What is actually delivered?
A report, the figures your paper needs, and a private link to open and rotate the models in a browser. Physical models, where a study needs them, are printed by Osteo3d.
What data do you need, and in what form?
De-identified DICOM, one folder per subject, together with the question the study is answering. A data preparation checklist is available on the research brief page.
Who owns the results?
You own the study data, the measurements and the report, and you publish them as your own. Osteo3d retains its methods, its tooling, the models it builds, and any protocol researched during the work. This is set out in the engagement terms before anything begins.
Will Osteo3d be an author?
Only where the contribution meets the ICMJE authorship criteria, and only by agreement in writing beforehand. Otherwise an acknowledgement is supplied.
What does it cost?
Every engagement is quoted against its scope. Send a brief and a written scope with a price is returned.
What is not offered?
Manufacturing files of any kind, device design, manuscript writing, clinical interpretation of images, and software licences. Work on a single patient goes through the clinical route at Solutions rather than here. Reports produced here are for research use and are not a clinical decision aid.
Can Osteo3d supply data from its own archive?
No. Osteo3d holds clinical case data under the terms it was collected for, and it is not available for third-party research.
