LWJGL is good for medical image display?

[oldyoungguy]

I am just started to evaluate LWJGL to see if it is a good fit for our application. we have a Java medical application needs to display CT images. I want to know is there any good open source applications in medical image display side can show me how it looks like regarding the performance and stability with LWJGL.
Thanks, James

LWJGL is just a wrapper around native OpenGL functions. If you can do it with OpenGL then you can use LWJGL to use OpenGL with Java.

As far as I can tell (from personal experience and recommendations from around the web) LWJGL is perfectly stable and supports the majority of OpenGL functions except a few very recent additions to OpenGL.

Any existing example or project?

I don't know of any medical imaging software using LWJGL but here is a whole load of projects using LWJGL: http://lwjgl.org/projects.php. I think they are all games but, trust me, even though LWJGL was designed with games in mind it is just as good for other graphics heavy projects so don't let that put you off.

LWJGL gives you access to OpenGL for all your graphical needs. It provides native windowing, keyboard and mouse input, accurate timing; pretty much everything you could ever need for low level projects like yours.
