VolView 4.1 is now available! We have made several enhancements, with features big and small; and we have made several bug fixes to provide a great user experience and rock-solid stability. There are new features designed to help load your data from various sources, new visualization options for examining your data, and major improvements to our cinematic volume rendering module to provide you with the highest quality rendering possible on the web.

The following lists notable features that are in the VolView 4.1 release. You can find more information on our release blog post.

  • DICOM Web Support: You can now point VolView at your DICOM Web server in order to browse and visualize your images and scans!
  • Image Layers: Want to visualize a layered PET-CT, PET-MRI, or any other layered modalities? The Image Layers functionality gives you a quick and easy way to layer any given image on top of the current image.
  • Cinematic Volume Rendering Enhancements: We’ve greatly improved the volume rendering options and visualizations. You now have a powerful yet simple control for adjusting the quality of your 3D rendering, ranging from low-quality settings for lower-end hardware to incredibly high-quality rendering for powerful hardware.
    -Tools: We’ve added a new Rectangle tool and made improvements to the ruler tool. More tools will be made available in a future release, so keep an eye out for those!
  • Google Cloud Storage and Amazon S3: VolView now supports loading datasets from publicly available Google Cloud Storage and Amazon S3 buckets! You can supply your gs:// or s3:// URLs and VolView will recursively pull your images and datasets. Find more information on how to do this in our docs.
