Medical and Volumetric Imaging with Modern Tools: DICOM, MICE & Men
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Medical Imaging, Volumetic Imaging: DICOM
| --------------------------------- free, open source
| Eviewbox is a java imaging suite,
| its purpose is to view and spread native DICOM
| medical images, allowing for 2D and 3 reconstructions.
| EViewbox applet will allow to see the DICOM images
| on every platform.
|

|
|
| dcm4che is an implementation of DICOM in Java.
| ----------------------------------------------
|
| The sample applications may be useful on its own.
| It also includes an IHE compliant Image Archive
| application,based on J2EE.

|
| VolumeJ, Surface and FlowJ (and ImageJ) | -------- without downloading
and installing. | Now includes isosurface rendering algorithm, | which
is about 100 times faster than previous | algorithms and allows
real-time rendering. | Allows opening and saving your own files. |

You have another person interested interested
in volumetric medical imaging of DICOM and other
formats, and a true newbie to Java3d:

| Hi Folks,
|
| Anybody know any tools to get data from

|
| Dicom is 2D any volume rendering stuff out there ?

Here's another Medical Volumetric program:
| Application Gallery: Medicine: CT and MRI
| -----------------------------------------
|
| In radiology, tomographic measurement such
| as computed tomography (CT) and magnet resonance
| imaging (MRI) is used to gain insight into the
| human body. Direct volume rendering techniques are
| appied to visualize the resulting data sets in 3D.
|
http://openqvis.sourceforge.net/gallery.html
| OpenQVis released on Sourceforge !
|
| OpenQVis is a GPL project for the visualization of
| 3D volume data on rectilinear grids, as they arise
| from tomographic measurement and simulation in
| computational science and engineering.
|
| It uses QT and OpenInventor/Coin3D to achieve
| cross-platform compability.
|
| OpenQVis is available for
|
| Linux,
| Windows 98/ME, Windows NT/2000/XP and
| SGI IRIX. ... a MacOSX 10.2 build [ is in progress ]
|
|
http://openqvis.sourceforge.net/gallery.html
|
| The OpenQVis project implements methods for
| interactive high-quality volume visualization
| on general purpose hard-ware such as
| commodity desktop computers with graphics cards
| designed for computer games and multimedia.
|
| The aim of this project is to achieve high image
| quality comparable to traditional ray-casting
| solutions at interactive frame rates on inexpensive
| hardware platforms.
|
| Based on collaborative research projects of the
| Computer Graphics Group of the University of Erlangen Nuremberg
| and the VIS Group at the University of Stuttgart, Germany,
|
| efficient volume rendering techniques have been developed,
| targeting the advanced features of modern PC graphics boards
| such as multi-stage rasterization, pixel shaders and
| dependent texture lookup

You are aware of course, that P. Flavin is just a Java program I cooked up
one lonely evening in 1998.
