1   -InVesalius is a free 3D Medical Reconstruction Software that encourages 3D
2   -visualization and rapid prototyping based on 2D CT DICOM files.
3   -
4   -All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
5   ---- TODO: HTTP ---. If you're just getting started, here's
6   -how we recommend you read the docs:
7   -
8   - * First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing InVesalius.
9   -
10   - * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt,
11   - docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.).
12   -
13   - * You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics)
14   - next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific
15   - problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details.
16   -
17   -Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
18   -should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
19   -here:

  1 +InVesalius generates 3D medical imaging reconstructions based on a sequence of 2D DICOM files acquired with CT or MRI equipments. InVesalius is internationalized (currently available in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish), multi-platform (GNU Linux, Windows and MacOS) and provides several tools:
  2 + * DICOM-support including: (a) ACR-NEMA version 1 and 2; (b) DICOM version 3.0 (including various encodings of JPEG -lossless and lossy-, RLE)
  3 + * Image manipulation facilities (zoom, pan, rotation, brightness/contrast, etc)
  4 + * Segmentation based on 2D slices
  5 + * Pre-defined threshold ranges according to tissue of interest
  6 + * Edition tools (similar to Paint Brush) based on 2D slices
  7 + * 3D surface creation
  8 + * 3D surface connectivity tools
  9 + * 3D surface exportation (including: binary STL, OBJ, VRML, Inventor)
  10 + * High-quality volume rendering projection
  11 + * Pre-defined volume rendering presets
  12 + * Volume rendering crop plane
  13 + * Picture exportation (including: BMP, TIFF, JPG, PostScript, POV-Ray)
