Abstract

3DVIEWNIX, is a data-, machine-, and application-independent software system, developed and maintained on an ongoing basis by the Medical Image Processing Group. It is aimed at serving the needs of biomedical visualization researchers as well as biomedical end users. 3DVIEWNIX is not designed around a fixed methodology or a set of methods packaged in a fixed fashion for a fixed application. Instead, we have identified and incorporated in 3DVIEWNIX a set of basic imaging transforms that are required in most visualization, manipulation, and analysis methods. The result is a powerful exploratory environment that provides not only the commonly used standard tools but also an immense variety of others. In addition to visualization, it incorporates a variety of multidimensional structure manipulation and analysis methods. We have tried to make its design as much as possible image- dimensionality-independent to make it just as convenient to process 2D and 3D data as it is to process 4D data. It is based on UNIX, C, X-Window and our own multidimensional generalization of the 2D ACR-NEMA standards for image data representation.
