Finally, MeshViz XLM offers a collection of high-level objects for implementing a Open Inventor is a 3D software development toolkit (SDK). wide range of charting types. It is a set of high-level 3D software libraries integrated as HardCopy. The HardCopy extension allows applications to third-party components of an application, and accessible embed a 3D scene in a PDF file using PDF3D®. HardCopy through an object-oriented API. also supports vector formats including, CGM, HPGL, Open Inventor provides the power and functionality of PostScript® and GDI EMF (Microsoft® Windows®). Unlike OpenGL® at an object-oriented level, including a scene pixel-based image output formats, these vector formats graph architecture to manage data, a highly optimized 3D provide high-quality, resolution-independent output rendering engine, an extensive set of built-in components suitable for large format plotters. and numerous classes to manipulate data using high-level concepts. In addition, Open Inventor’s specialized ScaleViz. The ScaleViz extension provides a complete set extensions provide sets of dedicated features for specific of tools for distributed rendering on multi-GPU machines needs and applications. and on clusters. ScaleViz supports advanced depth and image compositing, multiple displays (tiled wall, CAVE®, Open Inventor. Open Inventor provides an object-oriented etc.), as well as tracked input for immersive VR. API which gives access to high-level classes and methods dedicated to 3D data visualization and management. Open Inventor implements a scene graph paradigm for ready-to- use graphics programming patterns. It also provides a large set of built-in components which deliver simple and efficient ways for developing any kind of 3D data visualization and management features. Volumeviz LDM.The VolumeViz LDM extension implements high-quality volume rendering, built-in modules for manipulating 3D-image data and a unique Large Data Management technology for out-of-core data support, up to terabytes of data. VolumeViz LDM delivers state-of- the-art image quality with the latest algorithms implemented on the GPU. It provides developers with high-level classes that efficiently implement standard visualization. Beyond volume visualization, the LDM technology enables access to out-of-core data with optimized multi-resolution management to perform synchronous or batch computations on very large volume data. Meshviz XLM. The MeshViz XLM extension delivers advanced support for any type of 2D or 3D mesh. It provides a rich set of effective representations such as isosurfaces, skins, cross-sections, skeletons, streamlines, isolines. It also provides advanced mesh extraction tools allowing extraction of new meshes representing specific features. Built upon a unique technology, MeshViz XLM provides a virtual data access interface, which allows support of any kind of mesh and unique memory Explore. Discover. Resolve. FEI 3 INTEGRATE HIGH-PERFORMANCE 3D VISUALIZATION INTO YOUR SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS Developers of both commercial and internal use software DOSIsoft. DOSIsoft is a leader in treatment planning applications leverage the Open Inventor toolkit for systems for radiotherapy. They use Open Inventor, integrating advanced 3D visualization into their VolumeViz and MeshViz in products for automated applications. Just a few of the many organizations using contouring of internal structures, for virtual simulation and Open Inventor for life science and medical applications are: dose calculation features.

With 3Dview, the user can adjust the view mode of the 3D volume, navigate through the volume, and adjust the volume opacity to see bone and soft tissue for CT/MRI studies. The user can do virtual colonography for CT studies with automatic path detection and multiple playback controls to move the software camera in any direction inside the colon. For Angiography studies, the user has a segmentation tool to segment the organs and vessels needed for viewing. Bone segmentation is also available. For cardiac studies, the user can isolate the heart from the CT chest studies and automatically segment the coronaries with the coronary segmentation utility. www.millensys.com Spinal contouring.
