Mvox

A software package widely used by medical researchers for analyzing medical images. A tool for visualization and manipulation of a wide range of 2-4D gray level/color images and 3D surface graphics.
Handles images with different depths, number of colors, number of time instances.
Successfully used to visualize 3D medical images with stacks of slices (CT, MR, etc.), 2D remote sensing images with many channels and 2D color images (Red, Green and Blue).
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.

Manual segmentation can be performed on both RGB color and gray level images using drawing and contour definition facilities.
Semi-automatic segmentation can be performed using interactive/automatic thresholding and statistical classification.
