<div>Hello, </div><div><br></div><div>I am pleased to announce the new 1.1 release of <a href="http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/rio/vv" target="_blank">VV</a>, an open-source software from <a href="http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr" target="_blank">CREATIS-CNRS</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As you may know, <a href="http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/rio/vv" target="_blank">VV</a> is focused on the visualization and processing of 4D thorax CT images, but it is also useful for other medical applications and modalities. <a href="http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/rio/vv" target="_blank">VV</a> does not intend to be a large toolbox for medical image processing but a simple and fast viewer with basic processing tools for daily use. VV runs on Linux, Mac and Window, 32 and 64 bits.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The main features are: 4D navigation, large number of medical images file formats reader, DICOM import, simple image processing tools (resampling, croping, binarizing, arithmetics), deformation vector fields (DVF) visualization, overlays (transparency and differences between two images), synchronized navigation between several images, anatomical landmarks clicking, image type conversion, DICOM-RT structures import ... </div>
<div><br></div><div>You can find information on how to download and use it on : <a href="http://vv.creatis.insa-lyon.fr">http://vv.creatis.insa-lyon.fr</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>This release is probably the last one before the next 2.0 release, planned before the end of 2010 and which will include image registration capabilities (manual & automated, rigid & deformable) and automated thorax segmentation capabilities. </div>
<div><br></div><div>We look forward to hear feedback from you !</div><div><br></div><div>David</div><br>-- <br>David Sarrut, Phd<br>Chargé de recherche CNRS<br>Centre de lutte contre le cancer Léon Bérard<br>28 rue Laënnec, 69373 Lyon cedex 08<br>
