VolView is an intuitive, interactive system for volume visualization that allows researchers to quickly explore and analyze complex 3D medical or scientific data on a standard PC. Users can easily generate informative images and navigate the data for further analysis. 3D tools include composite and MIP volume rendering, contouring, cropping, and oblique reformatting. Segmentation can be performed, and resulting structures can be analyzed using distance, angle, surface area and volume measurement tools. Polygonal surface models can be exported for rapid prototyping.

Data exploration is enhanced through tools such as filtering, contours, measurements, histograms, animation, and annotation. Advanced users can extend VolView data processing using the simple plug-in API. Researchers can collaborate with distant colleagues by trading control between two synchronized sessions.

How to obtain a license key

    Trial license
    Running the VolView application should (if you are connected to the Internet when you run it) automatically obtain the license file and put it in the right place for you.  That should be all that's required. Additionally, kitware@kitware.com will send customers and VolView License Key email to attach the license file in case there was some sort of error along the way.  Users are able to follow the directions within the email to install the license manually if necessary.

    VolView 2.0 License
    License keys are sent via email to customers after they request a license. Licenses can be purchased by choosing the "purchase and register the full version" option during the installation of the trial version of VolView 2.0.  Full licenses can also be purchased later.
