Thank you for your interest in Fovia's High Definition Volume Rendering® software.

Before you request additional information or a downloadable version, please read the following to help you decide which flavor of HDVR® best meets your needs.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, all versions of Fovia's technology are available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh. Please note that Fovia offers the following options:

  • Client-Server Workstation Application - a general volume viewer capable of loading DICOM or RAW datasets and rendering them using Fovia's technology.

  • Software Development Kit - a software development kit exposing Fovia's rendering engine for integration into custom applications requiring high quality volume rendering.

    Fovia provides high-level, thin client APIs fully capable of remote rendering for the .NET framework as well as for Java. Alternatively, Fovia provides a low-level in-process C++ API.

  • OsiriX Plug-In - a Macintosh-only plug-in for the popular open source DICOM viewer OsiriX. Once a dataset is loaded into OsiriX, it can be viewed with Fovia's HDVR® software rather than with the default OsiriX volume viewer.
