3D Medical Image Visualisation - 3DView
The 3DView software was born under the EPSRC funded CASSPAR project, led by Dr. Rudy Lapeer, and in collaboration with Dr. Roger Rowland of RMR Systems Ltd. 3DView is a PC-based volume rendering application which uses 2D or 3D textures to render volumetric data, for example from CT or MR scans.
3D View Features
The 3DView application runs on a Windows platform and was developed using Microsoft Visual C++ and MFC. For DICOM import, we use a VC7 port of the OFFIS DCMTK Yoolkit. The graphics are produced using OpenGL. 3DView will run on most modern hardware but is optimised for higher-spec graphics cards (NVidia GeForce 3 and above or ATI Radeon 9000 and above).
Features include:
Alpha blended display of volumetric data using 2D or 3D textures
Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP)
Multi-Planar Reformatting (MPR)
Up to six fixed-orientation moveable cut planes
Interactive fly-through
Stereoscopic display using anaglyph or dual viewport methods
Interactive transfer function modification
Iso-surface mesh generation
3D Watershed segmentation
Raw data and DICOM data import options
