This paper introduces an extendable cross-platform software framework Julius for medical visualization and surgical planning, consisting of two conceptual layers: the Julius Software Development Kit (JSDK) and the Julius Graphical User Interface (JGUI). The JSDK can be used stand-alone to speed up development of research tools. While the JGUI acts like a front end for the JSDK and offers easy handling combined with time-saving functionality to increase performance and productivity. Julius features a modular, cross-platform design and comes with a full set of components, like semi-automatic segmentation, registration, visualization and navigation.
