InVesalius

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, German, Spanish, Catalan, Romanian, Korean, Italian and Czech), multi-platform (GNU Linux, Windows and MacOS) and provides several tools:

• DICOM-support including: (a) ACR-NEMA version 1 and 2; (b) DICOM version 3.0 (including various encodings of JPEG -lossless and lossy-, RLE)
• Image manipulation facilities (zoom, pan, rotation, brightness/contrast, etc)
• Segmentation based on 2D slices
• Pre-defined threshold ranges according to tissue of interest
• Edition tools (similar to Paint Brush) based on 2D slices
• 3D surface creation
• 3D surface connectivity tools
• 3D surface exportation (including: binary and ASCII STL, OBJ, VRML, Inventor)
• High-quality volume rendering projection
• Pre-defined volume rendering presets
• Volume rendering crop plane
• Picture exportation (including: BMP, TIFF, JPG, PostScript, POV-Ray)
