5.2 iMEDgine extensions<br />
In this section, extensions added to the basic iMEDgine viewer and developed shader<br />
are described. The following short descriptions reflect the module’s main tasks. The<br />
new iMEDgine modules at a glance are:<br />
• Datasets for 4 dimensional flow- and DICOM-image data; inevitably also an interface<br />
for DICOM volumetric and flow data I/O;<br />
• two new viewer-types; one for Cash-Flow based scene-graphs and one free definable,<br />
mainly designed for hardware accelerated visualization nodes;<br />
• a node which serves as interface between independent viewer scene graphs and<br />
the data holded by iMEDgine;<br />
