NiiVue is web-based visualization tool for neuroimaging that can run on any operating system and any web device (phone, tablet, computer). This repository contains only the core NiiVue package that can be embedded into other projects. We have additional repositories that wrap NiiVue for use in jupyter notebooks, vscode, and electron applications.

What makes NiiVue unique is its ability to simultaneously display all the datatypes popular with neuroimaging: voxels, meshes, tractography streamlines, statistical maps and connectomes. Alternative voxel-based web tools include ami, BioImage Suite Web, BrainBrowser, nifti-drop, OHIF DICOM Viewer, Papaya, VTK.js, and slicedrop.
To run a hot-loading development that is updated whenever you save changes to any source files, you can run:
git clone [email protected]:niivue/niivue.git
cd niivue
npm install
npm run dev
The command npm run demo will minify the project and locally host all of the live demos. The DEVELOP.md file provides more details for developers.
