3DVIEWNIX is a data-, machine-, and application-independent software system for the visualization and analysis of multimodality biomedical images. It is based on UNIX, C, X-Window, and our own multidimensional generalization the ACR-NEMA standards for image representation. Its design is image dimensionality independent to make it just as convenient to process 2D and 3D data as it is for higher-dimensional data. Its design is not tied to any specific approach, machine or application. It supports a large variety of visualization and analysis methods that run on from super graphics workstations to PC's for a variety of applications. It is an open, user expandable software system intended to promote cooperative research.
