RSNA is underway and Kitware’s big announcement has been made: VolView, their premiere volume visualization application, is now freely available worldwide.  They’re careful to admit that it has not been FDA cleared so it can’t be used in clinical environments without proper IRB approval, however the capabilities for research and data visualization are immense.

“The 3D imaging and segmentation capabilities of VolView are among the most advanced in the world” said Rick Avila, Senior Director of Health Care Solutions at Kitware. “Our goal is to provide this advanced imaging tool to researchers around the world and work with the imaging community to improve the capabilities and help us make a future version of VolView system both free and open source.”

If you’ve never had the chance to see VolView in action before, see this video for a short demonstration.
