Mvox

Mvox is a general purpose tool for visualization and manipulation of a wide range of 2-4D grey level/colour images and 3D surface graphics.

Mvox can handle images with different depths, number of colours, number of time instances and has been successfully used in the past to visualize 3D medical images with stacks of slices (CT, MR, etc.), 2D remote sensing images with many channels and 2D colour images (Red, Green and Blue). In addition Mvox can also display and manipulate 3D surface graphics (as used in CAD programs). 3D graphics can be exported in VRML format for use on WWW.

The wide range of data types that can be handled by Mvox makes it a very flexible tool and it is especially well suited for users with changing or widespread needs.
