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.
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 Toolkit. 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 |
