3D medical imaging provides an invaluable tool to the radiologist in visualizing normal and abnormal tissue and structure for the assessment of disease and treatment planning. Moreover, in difficult image disease assessment cases, as well as in the assessment of the early stages of the disease the need exists for a real time 3D collaborative platform. The objective of this paper was to develop a multi-user Virtual Reality (VR) application for visualization and analysis in medical imaging. The proposed platform is based on the Unity VR platform that is integrated with the very well-known and popular image Visualization Toolkit-VTK. The platform was evaluated successfully in the 3D visualization of images of the ADNI dataset. Future work will focus in integrating in the platform the visualization of quantitative imaging analytics as well as the evaluation of the platform in a more-wide spectrum of imaging cases.
