ImageJ 3D Viewer

[Dave Allen]

Hi, I am a new user of ImageJ and am using it to render section topographs into 3D but I was wondering how the 3D viewer plugin does this.

does it use the Fourier slice Theorem and Radon Transformation or some other method?

it uses 3D texture mapping volume rendering on your graphics processor / GPU, (using  Java3D)
