The first step was the osgvolume example, which was initially developed quite a few years ago, this served as a proof of concept. I've added further experimental code to this example over the couple of months, and will soon move some of this code into the new osgVolume library to serve as a initial cut at volume rendering in a bit more re-usable way than having the code stuffed into an example. The code won't be anywhere near it's final form though, it'll just be prototype stuff and subject to major API revision and we move forward. In this initial cut of osgVolume I exepct to have 1D transfer function and lighting working (these already work in the osgvolume abiet in a rather hacky form). Multi-modal volume rendering is something that will come much much later. Data import has already been progressed, and now in svn/trunk we have a dicom loader, that can either use DCMTK or ITK to load dicom files, depending upon which of these libraries you have installed. W.r.t ITK integration might thought has been to make provide adapter functions/classes to convert data from osg::Image to ITK and back, if we can keep this adapter code entirely in headers then we could include an ITKAdapter header(s) as part of include/osgVolume, or possible a itk subdirectory off include/osgVolume, without ever needing to compile osgVolume itself with ITK. ITK is a pretty big library so isn't something I'm prepared to make a core dependency.
