3DLab FAQs

We are a team of MDs, bioengineers, and image analysts leveraging advanced commercial software and cutting-edge tools developed at UCSF to provide the latest 3D image analysis and quantification. In addition to providing clinical services, the lab supports image analysis for clinical trials and clinical validation of novel methods developed within ci².

All providers who need 3D post-processing can request our services. This includes ZSFG and BCHO. 3DLab services are used by over 1400 clinical providers annually at UCSF. In addition, the lab currently supports image analysis for ~75 clinical trials. 

The 3DLab supports end-to-end development and implementation of new image analysis protocols in partnership with UCSF clinical providers, including working with partner units at UCSF to set up orders and workflow.

"The 3D lab team have been outstanding collaborators from the very beginning of our project.  The workflow is seamless and the measurements they provide are critical for my clinical decision making.  I am so thankful to Ziba and the whole team for their development and their contributions to my patients."

“We have used the 3D Lab Team for reconstructions of liver anatomy of the living donor liver program. The team has done a fantastic job and is very responsive to queries.”
