3DimViewer is a lightweight 3D viewer of medical DICOM datasets that is distributed as open source software (see ''LICENSE.txt''). The viewer is multiplatform software written in C that runs on Windows and Linux systems.

• Genuine 3D viewer of volumetric data.
• Multiplanar view (three orthogonal slices through the data).
• Adjustable density window.
• Strong DICOM dataset import.
• Distance and density measuring.
• High quality Volume rendering for direct 3D visualization.
• Tissue segmentation based on thresholding.
• Surface reconstruction of any segmented tissue.
• 3D surface rendering.
• Advanced functions available via extension plugins.

First of all, you should have the CMake utility installed on your system to compile the 3DimViewer:

• CMake (Cross-platform Make, http://www.cmake.org/) is an open-source build system. "CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice."

Compilation guide is newly on wiki page:

• Compilation

Compilation on Linux is supported providing "almost all" functionality of the original windows application! The following guide describes how to compile the viewer on Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit version):

• Install CMake and ccmake utilities first sudo apt-get install cmake cmake-curses-gui

• Install GLEW library to the system sudo apt-get install libglew-dev glew-utils

• Install CURL library sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

• Compile and install MDSTk, OpenSceneGraph and wxWidgets libraries (see the ''doc/Installation.htm'' for a complete guide).

• Unpack sources of the 3DimViewer into your home directory ''~/3DimViewer-x.y''

• Create a new directory for an out-of-source build (''~/3DimViewer-x.y/build'') and use CMake to generate makefiles cd ~/3DimViewer-x.y mkdir build cd build ccmake ..

• Build the viewer make

• Final executable will be placed directly in the ''applications/3DimViewer/bin' directory and loadable plugins in the ''applications/3DimViewer/plugins'' directory.

A simple patch has to be applied to OpenMesh's PolyConnectivity files. Move implementations of the below methods from the .cc file to the corresponding .hh file.

/// Begin iterator for vertices
VertexIter vertices_begin() { return VertexIter(*this, VertexHandle(0)); }
/// Const begin iterator for vertices
ConstVertexIter vertices_begin() const { return VertexIter(*this, VertexHandle(0)); }
/// End iterator for vertices
VertexIter vertices_end() { return ConstVertexIter(*this, VertexHandle(int(n_vertices()))); }
/// Const end iterator for vertices
ConstVertexIter vertices_end() const { return ConstVertexIter(*this, VertexHandle(int(n_vertices()))); }

We don't promise that this software is completely bug free. If you encounter any issue, please let us now.
