Module Description

Provides interactive visualization of 3D image data.

Usage

Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials

• Software Ray Casting
• GPU (GLSL) Ray Casting
• GPU (GLSL) Ray Casting II (Multi-Volume Rendering)

Volume rendering both background and foreground volumes. Background volume is rendered using compositing. Foreground volume is rendered using MIP. Background and foreground volumes are rendered together using alpha blending.

Bg volume only (Composite)

Bg and Fg volume (Alpha Blending)

Fg volume only (MIP)

• OpenGL Texture Mapping
• Dual 3D View mode

Gradient Magnitude Opacity Modulation in Dual 3D View mode

• Volumes Following Mode

In Volumes Following mode, color and opacity transfer functions in the VolumeRendering module will follow window/level and threshold settings in the Volumes module for a uniform appearance on both slice view and 3D volume rendering view.
