Working with 3D volume imagesThree dimensional (3D) volume images are key to understanding the development of shape. They are produced by CT X-ray scanners, MRI and PET. However, biological gene activity is monitored using fluorescent probes and so optical methods are used: confocal microscopy and optical projection microscopy. The resulting images are large and are best viewed using software that exploits powerful graphics processors. We implemented VolViewer which is a viewer of choice in the open microscopy environment. |
