设计了一个多维图像导航和显示软件，用于显示和解释大量的多维和多模式图像，如PET-CT联合研究。软件是在MacOS X操作系统下，使用GNUStep开发环境，在Macintosh平台上用OBJECT-C语言开发的。它还受益于OpenGL图形标准的极快和优化的3D图形能力，该标准广泛用于计算机游戏，优化了利用任何可用的硬件图形加速板的优势。在软件的设计中，特别注意使用户界面适应在大量图像数据中导航的特定和复杂任务。实现了一种在视频和电影行业中广泛使用的交互式转轮设备，使用户能够比使用传统鼠标或屏幕上的光标和滑块更快地在图像集的不同维度中导航。通过在程序的工具栏中添加和删除工具，并避免大量不必要的工具和功能，该程序可以很容易地适应需要有限功能的非常特定的任务。该软件的处理和图像渲染工具是基于开源的ITK和VTK库。这确保了使用这些库的其他学术机构在图像处理方面可能出现的所有新发展都可以直接移植到OsiriX计划中。OsiriX是在http://homepage.mac.com/rossetantoine/osirix.的GNU开源许可协议下免费提供的
A multidimensional image navigation and display software was designed for display and interpretation of large sets of multidimensional and multimodality images such as combined PET-CT studies. The software is developed in Objective-C on a Macintosh platform under the MacOS X operating system using the GNUstep development environment. It also benefits from the extremely fast and optimized 3D graphic capabilities of the OpenGL graphic standard widely used for computer games optimized for taking advantage of any hardware graphic accelerator boards available. In the design of the software special attention was given to adapt the user interface to the specific and complex tasks of navigating through large sets of image data. An interactive jog-wheel device widely used in the video and movie industry was implemented to allow users to navigate in the different dimensions of an image set much faster than with a traditional mouse or on-screen cursors and sliders. The program can easily be adapted for very specific tasks that require a limited number of functions, by adding and removing tools from the program's toolbar and avoiding an overwhelming number of unnecessary tools and functions. The processing and image rendering tools of the software are based on the open-source libraries ITK and VTK. This ensures that all new developments in image processing that could emerge from other academic institutions using these libraries can be directly ported to the OsiriX program.
