 ===== Notes on MIPAV (tried with win32) =====
+I tried MIPAV pretty long time a go (2005?). Compared to that time, MIPAV has evolved pretty much with stronger functionality in visualization. Many new algorithms fro filtering are added as well. Trials with test processing was mostly OK but some bugs, which are not ignorable. Rich and very advanced functions are implemented, but it tends to be that basic handling function is missing or hidden behind complex command bindings and not intuitive. "Vox" (volume of interest) concept is generally applied to most of the functions, and I think this point worth everyone interested to try out. We are trapped in 2D screen, while we want to access 3D - this is a common problem in all the software that deals with 3D datasets, and MIPAV is seeking for its solution.
