+
+Kitware's VolView plugin
+========================
+
+.. contents::
+
+This **official** plugin by the `ICTEAM institute of UCLouvain
+<https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/icteam>`__ extends
+Orthanc with `Kitware's VolView <https://volview.kitware.com/>`__ Web
+interface for cinematic volume rendering of DICOM data.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+This plugin adds a dedicated button to Orthanc Explorer, which
+provides an easy access to VolView (click on the image to view a demo
+video):
+
+.. image:: ../images/VolView.png
+           :align: center
+           :width: 800
+           :target: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taQ6TiFJTHE
+|
+
+Starting with its release 0.8.0, the :ref:`Orthanc Explorer 2
+<orthanc-explorer-2>` plugin also provides a button to open VolView.
+
+Compilation
+-----------
+
+.. highlight:: bash
+
+Official releases can be `downloaded from the Orthanc homepage
+<https://www.orthanc-server.com/browse.php?path=/plugin-volview>`__. As
+an alternative, the `repository containing the source code
+<https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/hg/orthanc-volview/>`__ can be accessed using
+Mercurial.
+
+The procedure to compile this plugin is similar of that for the
+:ref:`core of Orthanc <binaries>`. The following commands should work
+on most GNU/Linux distributions, provided Docker is installed::
+
+  $ mkdir Build
+  $ cd Build
+  $ ../Resources/CreateVolViewDist.sh
+  $ cmake .. -DSTATIC_BUILD=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+  $ make
+
+The compilation will produce a shared library ``libOrthancVolView.so``
+that contains the VolView plugin for Orthanc.
+
+Pre-compiled Linux Standard Base (LSB) binaries `are available for
+download <https://lsb.orthanc-server.com/plugin-volview/>`__.
+
+Pre-compiled binaries for Microsoft Windows and macOS `are also
+available
+<https://www.orthanc-server.com/browse.php?path=/plugin-volview>`__.
+
+Furthermore, the :ref:`Docker images <docker>`
+``jodogne/orthanc-plugins`` and ``osimis/orthanc`` also contain the
+plugin. Debian and Ubuntu packages can be found in the
+:ref:`standalone repository <binaries>`
+``https://debian.orthanc-labs.com/``.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+.. highlight:: json
+
+Here is a minimal sample :ref:`configuration file <configuration>` to
+use this plugin::
+
+  {
+    "Plugins" : [
+      "/home/user/OrthancVolView/Build/libOrthancVolView.so"
+    ]
+  }
+
+Orthanc must of course be restarted after the modification of its
+configuration file.
