Clinician and researcher end-user:

• Direct integration with PACS systems. Conformity to DICOM Standard: Query/Retrieve/Send
• Multimodal 2D and 3D image interactive visualization:
  • Control of the visualisation window (Window Width/Level)
  • Zoom and displacement
  • Image rotation (+90, -90) and vertical and horizontal views
  • Image annotations:
    • Landmarks
    • Measurements
    • Regions of interest (ROI)
  • Movie control: play forward, play back, infinite loop, speed control, etc.
• Clinical workflow navigation to easily navigate through the workflow steps. Usable interface for clinical environment
• Data: 3D images, surface meshes, volumetric meshes, signals and landmarks
• Visualization: Multiplanar reformation, OrthoSlice, MultiSlice, Direct volume rendering, XRay, Maximum-intensity projection
• IO formats: DICOM, vtk, vti, stl, Nifty, Analyze
• Available on Windows platform, 32 and 64 bits. Beta version available on Linux platform and MAC
• Included tools:
  • DICOM browser and PACS connection
  • Manual segmentation tool
  • Surface mesh manipulation tools: Smoothing, volume closing, mesh optimization, tetra generation, ring cut, skeletonization
  • Signal viewer
  • Landmark selection
  • Image processing tools

For developers:

• C++ language
• Plug-in architecture
• Cross-platform using standard CMake tool
• Easily integrate your own library and source code using CSnake tool
• Based on common open source libraries (VTK, ITK, MITK, BOOST, wxWidgets)
• Command line plugins to easily extend the framework
• Automated GUI generation: Used an XML to describe the parameters of a filter (compatible with 3D Slicer). Use automated GUI generation to create the graphical interface.
• Extensible Processing layer: supporting different processing data libraries integrated into the framework. For example, GIMIAS handles ITK image, VTK image, MITK image, CMGUI image and automatic conversion between them. See video here 
• Extensible Rendering layer: support for different rendering libraries. CMGUI and MITK have been integrated as plugins that provide different rendering views. VTK image or a vtkPolyData can be rendered in CMGUI or MITK view. See video here
• VTK, MITK and ITK execution module: Dynamic library module can execute filters (like vtkImageThreshold) directly using a DLL (like vtkImaging.dll). This reduces the effort needed to integrate processing toolkits.
