Hi Randy.

You're definitely right. Also 
it is interesting to talk about 
3D and volume rendering.

As to me, I do not consider too much the 
usage of SVG in medical applications yet.
This is due to no posibility to overcome conversion
in memory 2D-raster data to a MIME-text. I mean, what 
if we have image in SVG and would like to apply 
custom filter (not one from SVG), color levelling by 
mouse or do some other raster manipulation (always 
quite fast on almost any client), but in SVG 
we need to convert every time the data to MIME-text
and besides extra data copiing.
In any case it is quite CPU-expensive even 
at reasonable resolution. That leads to quite 
annoying slow reaction, i.e. lack of interactivity.

The possible overcome could be a custom 
rendering extensions...

Thank you very much.

Shaman.
