.. _volview: Kitware's VolView plugin ======================== .. contents:: This **official** plugin by the `ICTEAM institute of UCLouvain <https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/>`__ extends Orthanc with `Kitware's VolView <https://volview.kitware.com/>`__ Web interface for cinematic volume rendering of DICOM data. **For researchers**: `Please cite this paper <https://dial.uclouvain.be/pr/boreal/object/boreal:257257>`__. 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 0.8.2, the :ref:`Orthanc Explorer 2 <orthanc-explorer-2>` plugin also provides a button to open VolView: .. image:: ../images/VolView-OE2.png :align: center :width: 800 Compilation ----------- .. highlight:: bash Official releases can be `downloaded from the Orthanc homepage <https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/downloads/sources/orthanc-volview/index.html>`__. 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://orthanc.uclouvain.be/downloads/linux-standard-base/orthanc-volview/index.html>`__. Pre-compiled binaries for `Microsoft Windows <https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/downloads/windows-32/orthanc-volview/index.html>`__ and `macOS <https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/downloads/macos/orthanc-volview/index.html>`__ are available as well. Furthermore, the :ref:`Docker images <docker>` ``jodogne/orthanc-plugins`` and ``orthancteam/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.
