Plugins Overview
The Plugins section of the Advanced tab provides access to specialized extensions that expand Volvicon's core capabilities. Plugins are modular components that add domain-specific functionality without modifying the base application, allowing you to customize your installation for specific workflows.
Plugin Architecture
Volvicon's plugin system enables:
- Modular functionality: Install only the features you need
- Independent updates: Plugins can be updated separately from the main application
- Custom workflows: Specialized tools for niche applications
- Third-party integration: Support for external algorithms and processing pipelines
Available Plugins
| Plugin | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Cone Beam Reconstruction | Reconstruct 3D volumetric images from cone-beam CT projection data using filtered back-projection algorithms | Industrial CT, dental CBCT, micro-CT research |
Accessing Plugins
Plugins appear in the Plugins section of the Advanced ribbon tab. Each plugin provides its own dedicated tool panel with specialized controls and parameters.
To use a plugin:
- Navigate to the Advanced ribbon tab
- Locate the desired plugin in the Plugins section
- Click the plugin button to open its controls panel

Plugin Licensing
Some plugins may require specific license tiers or add-on licenses. Check the individual plugin documentation for licensing requirements. If a plugin button appears disabled, verify that your license includes access to that functionality.
Future Plugins
The plugin architecture is designed to accommodate future extensions. Additional plugins for specialized imaging modalities, advanced processing algorithms, and domain-specific workflows will be added in future releases.
