…provement plan
Adds a documentation set covering the three Volume3D render paths (vtk WebGL,
vtk WebGPU, mview/fuberlin), why they differ in performance and fidelity, what
limits renderable volume size, and a sequenced plan for improving them.
Docs only - no source changes.
The analysis is based on the `webgpuSpike` branch in mbellehumeur/cornerstone3D;
the fuberlin and WebGPU Volume3D render paths do not exist on main yet, so source
links point at that branch. Proposed against main so the analysis and plan can be
discussed independently of the spike landing.
- RENDERING-Volume3D-overview.md how a render mode is selected, shared
plumbing, and the preset-fidelity
differences between the three paths
- RENDERING-vtkVolume3d-webgl.md the gl path
- RENDERING-webgpuVolume3d.md the gpu path
- RENDERING-fuberlinVolume3D-mview.md the mview path
- RENDERING-performance-compare.md why mview > gpu > gl interactively, and
the options for closing each gap
- RENDERING-large-volumes.md texture/memory limits, LOD, bricking,
MPR implications, server-side storage
- RENDERING-PLAN.md phased plan with a gl-vs-mview estimate
Findings worth reviewer attention:
- mview's speed advantage is partly a fidelity defect. It omits vtk's
sample-distance opacity correction, so per-sample alpha is ~1.8x higher and
rays reach the early-out ~2.5x sooner. That is also why its interactive and
still frames differ in density.
- gl never reduces resolution during interaction. Both halves of vtk's
`isAnimating() && _lastScale > 1.5` gate fail: Cornerstone's offscreen window
has no animating interactor, and createVolumeMapper leaves
initialInteractionScale at 1.0, which cannot clear the gate.
- gpu is the only path that does not RAF-coalesce presents, so a drag can issue
several complete frames per displayed frame.
- MPR and 3D share one GPU representation on both backends
(mapperImageDataByVolumeId is keyed by volumeId alone), so a reduced-resolution
volume for 3D would silently degrade MPR too.
- Bricking is a poor first move for DVR but a natural fit for MPR: MPR does no
compositing along a ray, so the ordering constraint does not apply.
The plan is phased 0-5, with a decision engine (0), gl quick wins (1), gl via
vtk.js (2), a surface renderer (3), precomputed hierarchical storage generated
by static-dicomweb (4a) and bricked client rendering (4b), and WebGPU parity (5).
Phases 1-2 give an independently measurable deliverable; the estimate is that gl
lands within 1.3-2.2x of mview after phase 1 and 1.1-1.6x after phase 2, against
a 2x acceptance threshold.

Adds a `brick:` volume loader that fills a volume from a hierarchical brick store generated alongside an existing DICOM series, so off-axis planes no longer cost the entire series. The base `/frames/` layout is axial-major, so a full-resolution sagittal plane needs one column from every frame - 28 MB and 174 requests on the Juno CT, to display a 2 MB plane. A cubic brick store fetches a slab of brick-thickness instead, which is `imageDimension / brickSize` fewer bytes and requests. Levels are reduced per axis from the voxel spacing rather than by a single downsample factor. A scalar factor is only right for isotropic voxels: Juno is 0.98mm in-plane against 5mm slices, so halving z as hard as x and y preserves that 5.1:1 anisotropy all the way down and leaves a coarse level of 22 slices at 40mm spacing - unusable for a reformat or a 3D view. Each step instead halves only the axes more than a half-octave finer than the coarsest, giving d1 -> d4_4_1 -> d8_8_2 for Juno, with the coarse level near-isotropic in mm. On isotropic data no axis is ever sqrt(2) finer than another, so this degenerates exactly to the uniform d1/d2/d4 ladder. A level small enough to be worth one request gets a brick shaped like the level, so the opening fetch is a single object - 185 KB for Juno, one request, displayable in every orientation. Bricks are stored at their true extent rather than zero-padded, which matters because a third of Juno's d1 bricks would otherwise be 28% padding. Measured on the Juno CT (512x512x174), against the uniform pyramid: brick/ 30.28 MB (+106.8% of frames/), was 32.07 MB (+113.2%) 205 bricks, was 229 coarse level 64x64x87 at 10mm z, was 64x64x22 at 40mm 2.5s to first volume, 10s to full resolution Loader only - no rendering changes. The format is defined in full, including d1, so nothing has to be regenerated when the full-resolution off-axis consumer lands; see LOADING-brick-volume-source.md for the analysis and the alternatives that were rejected. Generated by static-wado's `createdicomweb alternates --brick`; manifest version 2 carries per-axis factors, per-level brickSize and brickPadding.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds a manifest-driven brick volume loader with JPEG-LS brick fetching, multiresolution refinement, plane-aware scheduling, shared volume updates, public exports, comprehensive tests, design documentation, and progressive-volume example support. ChangesBrick volume loading
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds a brick-backed volume path, but the current implementation can continue requests after eviction, report completion before required refinement finishes, leave regions coarse after transient failures, and couple cancellation across viewports. These failures can waste network work and leave displayed volumes incomplete or inconsistent, so the PR should not merge until the runtime issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Both helpers use

- Around line 417-426: Update the package-root exports in src/index.ts to add a
type-only export for BrickVolumeLoaderOptions alongside the existing brick
volume loader exports, reusing the type exported by loaders/index.ts.
In `@packages/core/src/loaders/brick/brickFetch.ts`:
- Around line 66-72: Update the cleanup chain in the brick-fetch flow around
inFlight and request.finally so the derived promise cannot produce an unhandled
rejection. Preserve the existing conditional deletion of url when
inFlight.get(url) === request, while explicitly handling or suppressing the
cleanup promise’s rejection.
- Around line 42-53: Update the de-duplicated request flow around the in-flight
map and fetch call to use an internal AbortController for the shared request,
rather than any caller’s signal. Return each caller a promise that observes its
own signal while sharing the underlying fetch result, and clean up listeners
appropriately; also add a timeout/deadline that aborts the internal controller
so stalled requests cannot occupy a scheduler slot indefinitely.
In `@packages/core/src/loaders/brick/brickMetadata.ts`:
- Around line 86-89: Update the manifest URI handling in the manifestUri branch
of brickMetadata to remove the final manifest.json path segment while preserving
any query string or fragment. Parse or split the URI boundary before applying
the filename removal, then pass the resulting directory URI to toBrickVolumeId.
In `@packages/core/src/loaders/brick/brickVolume.ts`:
- Around line 845-857: Update finish() so it does not remove the volume
controller while fetchTarget still has unfetched bricks; keep controllers
registered for later plane-driven refinement, and move controllers.delete to the
cancellation or destruction path where loading is definitively terminated.
- Around line 245-290: Unify the loading paths in load() and
setDisplayedPlanes() so they cannot run drain() and drainUntil() concurrently;
use a shared guarded drain loop or track in-flight bricks and block completion
until both the queue and all workers are idle. Ensure finish() only runs after
the baseline/coarse-fill work has been written, while preserving the existing
displayed-plane and refinement behavior.
- Around line 669-689: Update the failure handling in the brick-loading
try/catch and the analogous drainUntil path to remove the failed coordinate from
resident before settling it, allowing subsequent enqueue operations to retry the
brick while preserving cancellation and successful-load behavior.
In `@packages/core/src/loaders/brickVolumeLoader.ts`:
- Around line 199-205: Update the loader flow around the cancel and decache
callbacks so cancellation and eviction are recorded before the manifest request
begins, and abort that request immediately when either occurs. After the
controller is created, apply the recorded state so no brick requests start for
an already-cancelled or decached volume; preserve the existing promise,
cancelFn, and decache API.
In
`@packages/core/src/RenderingEngine/GenericViewport/Volume3D/LOADING-brick-volume-source.md`:
- Around line 500-504: Update the brick path template in the documentation from
the .jph extension to .jls, matching BRICK_EXTENSION and the other layout
examples.
- Line 169: Fix the broken documentation references in the volume source
document by updating both links to existing relative paths, including the
references to RENDERING-large-volumes.md and RENDERING-PLAN.md; do not add new
documents unless those targets are intentionally required.
In `@packages/tools/examples/volumeProgressive/index.ts`:
- Around line 579-587: Update the refined-load listener lifecycle near
onCompleted and the onCamera handler: retain a disposer for the
Events.CAMERA_MODIFIED listener, invoke it before starting a new brick load to
remove any superseded listener, and invoke it when refinement completes
alongside removing the completion listener. Ensure each active load has at most
one camera listener and completed loads no longer call retargetBricks.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
De-duplication makes one caller's abort cancel every other caller.
Only the first caller's signal reaches fetch. Later callers receive the same promise, so:
- If the first caller aborts, the shared
fetchaborts and every later caller's await rejects withAbortError, even though those callers did not cancel. - If a later caller aborts, nothing happens, because its signal is never observed.
The file comment states that an axial and a sagittal viewport share the brick where they cross, so both paths are reachable. Drive the shared request from an internal controller and give each caller its own abort view.

The cleanup chain produces an unhandled rejection.
request.finally(...) returns a new promise that rejects with the same reason. void does not attach a handler to it. When a brick fetch fails, the caller handles request, but the derived promise stays unhandled and triggers an unhandled-rejection warning or a failed test run.

Strip manifest.json from the path, not from the whole URI.
The regex is anchored at the end of the string. If the advertised URI carries a query string or fragment, for example .../brick/manifest.json?token=abc, the match fails. brickVolumeLoader then appends manifest.json to a base that still ends with the file name, and the manifest request 404s.
Parse the URI and remove the last path segment instead.

Two drain loops can run at once, and finish() can fire while bricks are in flight.
If options.displayedPlanes is set, line 250 calls setDisplayedPlanes, which ends with void this.drain() (line 410). Line 262 then starts drainUntil, which does not check or set this.draining. So both loops consume the same queue concurrently.
drain awaits only its own workers. It can therefore observe this.queue.size === 0 while drainUntil workers still hold bricks in flight, and call finish(). That sets loadStatus.loaded = true, invokes the render callbacks, fires IMAGE_VOLUME_LOADING_COMPLETED, and removes the controller from controllers before the coarse fill is written.
Route both paths through one guarded loop, or track in-flight bricks and require the count to be zero before finish() runs.

finish() unregisters the controller, so plane-driven refinement stops permanently.
The comment assumes every brick has landed. With plane-selective refinement that is not true: bricksForLevel returns only the bricks the current planes cut, so the queue empties while most fetchTarget bricks are still unfetched. finish() then removes the entry from controllers.
After that, setBrickVolumeDisplayedPlanes and getBrickVolumeController return false/undefined, so a later camera move cannot enqueue the bricks the new planes need. The volume stays coarse outside the first viewed slab.
Keep the controller registered until fetchTarget is fully resident, or until cancel/destroy runs, and remove it only there.

Preserve cancellation before controller creation.
cancel() and decache() are no-ops until controller is assigned. If cache eviction occurs while manifest.json is loading, the promise can still create a controller and start brick requests after the volume was removed. Store cancellation state before the manifest request, abort that request, and apply the state after controller creation.

Remove camera listeners for completed and superseded loads.
Each refined load adds an Events.CAMERA_MODIFIED listener. onCompleted removes only itself. Completed loads therefore retain camera listeners, and repeated button clicks cause multiple retargetBricks calls for every camera update. Keep a disposer, call it before a new brick load, and call it when refinement completes.

Qualify the t = 1 sample-density claim.
The table clamps still steps to 2048, while the vtk comparison target allows up to 4000 samples per ray. For volumes where ceil(diagonal / ((sx+sy+sz)/6)) > 2048, t = 1 remains capped below the vtk target. State this limitation or align the upper bound with the intended parity target.

🌐 Web query:
WebGPU maxTextureDimension3D default 2048 adapter limits device.limits authoritative specification
💡 Result:
In the authoritative W3C WebGPU specification, the default value for maxTextureDimension3D is 2048 [1][2]. This value represents the maximum allowed dimension (width, height, and depth) for a 3D texture [1][2]. The device.limits property on a GPUDevice (or GPUAdapter) exposes a GPUSupportedLimits object [3]. While 2048 is the default limit guaranteed across implementations, specific hardware or user agents may support larger values, which can be queried via the adapter's limits and requested during device creation [4][3]. Summary of Key Points: - Authoritative Specification: The W3C WebGPU specification explicitly defines the default limit for maxTextureDimension3D as 2048 [1][2]. - Purpose: This limit applies to the size.width, size.height, and size.depthOrArrayLayers for textures created with the dimension "3d" [1][2]. - Usage: Developers should query the GPUAdapter.limits to determine the capabilities of the specific underlying hardware [4][3]. If an application requires a limit higher than the default, it must be explicitly requested in the requiredLimits object when calling requestDevice [3]. If the requested limit is supported by the adapter, the resulting GPUDevice will reflect that higher value in its device.limits [3].

Use the adapter-reported texture limit. The 2048 value is the WebGPU default, not a universal ceiling. State that a volume is invalid only when an axis exceeds this.device.limits.maxTextureDimension3D.

| 64³ or 128³ chunks, a few mip levels. This is what OME-NGFF/Zarr, Neuroglancer's | ||

| | ROI slab for magnified 3D (option 3) | the bricks inside the ROI | | ||
| | Bricked rendering (option 2) | the bricks, directly | | ||
|
|
||

| transposed stacks. And it handles oblique planes, which transposed stacks cannot. |

Derive pyramid storage from the stored level dimensions.
The +14% and ⅛ bytes estimates assume isotropic 2× reduction on all three axes at every stored level. The current brick manifest uses per-axis reduction factors for anisotropic data and can omit intermediate levels, so both values vary. Present 14% and ⅛ as isotropic examples only, or calculate them from the actual manifest levels.

Do not equate lossy compression with visible loss.

Both documents currently say to choose the “finest” qualifying level, which can select full resolution whenever multiple levels satisfy the condition and defeat the stated bandwidth reduction.

Describe the shift range as internal normalization.

This text currently says that the transfer functions use the shift range instead of the real HU range. Clarify that the shift range is internal and the installed control points remain in absolute HU.

- - RGB transfer function and scalar-opacity piecewise function, both remapped into

What this is
A
brick:volume loader that fills a volume from a hierarchical brick store generated alongside an existing DICOM series — no new instances, metadata stays in the DICOM. Loader layer only, no rendering changes.Companion PRs
RENDERING-*.mdfiles in the diff belong to that PR and will drop out of this diff once it lands; onlyLOADING-brick-volume-source.mdis new here.Opening this for discussion of the format as much as the code. The format is defined in full (including
d1) so nothing has to be regenerated when the full-resolution off-axis consumer lands, which means the parts worth arguing about are fixed now.Why
/frames/is axial-major and stays the best answer for axial access. But a full-resolution sagittal plane needs one column from every frame, so it forces a complete series fetch — 28 MB and 174 requests on the Juno CT to display a 2 MB plane. A coarse pyramid gives a fast first image but never a full-resolution one, so it does not address this.Cubic bricks fetch a slab of brick-thickness instead. The saving is
imageDimension / brickSize.Measured (Juno CT, 512x512x174, 0.98 mm in-plane, 5 mm slices)
Time to first volume is only slightly behind the acquisition-orientation JLS path's time to first image, and full resolution arrives in the same time — but every orientation is live throughout, not just axial.
The part I would most like opinions on: levels reduce by spacing, not by one factor
A scalar downsample factor is only correct for isotropic voxels. Juno is 5.1:1 anisotropic, so uniform halving preserves that all the way down and leaves a coarse level of 22 slices at 40 mm spacing — useless for a reformat or a 3D view.
Each step instead halves only the axes more than a half-octave (sqrt 2) finer than the coarsest:
d1d2_2_1d4_4_1d8_8_2On isotropic data no axis is ever sqrt(2) finer than another, so this degenerates exactly to the uniform
d1/d2/d4ladder — thin-slice series are unaffected.Consequences worth reviewing:
d8_8_2) once they diverge, becaused8would not describe a level that reduced z by 2. Uniform levels keep readingd1,d2,d4.brickSizeis per level.d2_2_1is computed but not stored. In-plane-only steps divide voxels by 4 rather than 8, so the first one is the most expensive level afterd1and the least useful (2x coarser in-plane, identical through-plane). A level is stored only if its factors multiply to >= 8 — the reduction a uniformly halved level already has, so nothing is dropped on isotropic data.d1bricks would otherwise be 28% padding. Padding compresses to nearly nothing but still costs a full-size decode buffer and the work to fill it.Net effect on storage — it is smaller than the uniform pyramid it replaces while holding 4x the through-plane resolution at the coarse levels:
brick/Also worth noting against an assumption in the design doc: coarse levels compress better than
d1, not worse — 3.49:1 and 3.84:1 againstd1's 3.07:1. Box-filtering strips the high-frequency acquisition noise the JPEG-LS MED predictor handles least well.Other decisions open to challenge
Written up with the rejected alternatives in
LOADING-brick-volume-source.md, which sits alongside the render-path analysis from #2853 and depends on its quality criterion — a filtered average is the lossless representation at a given resolution, so a box-filtered level is band-limited where slice-dropping decimation aliases:/frames/wants and what the pyramid makes redundant.d1bricks stay cubic in voxels. Making them physically cubic on a 5 mm series (64x64x13) moves identical bytes but turns 24 requests into 104.d1is stored, or +14% for coarse levels alone. That is the honest price of fast full-resolution off-axis display; it should be a conscious decision rather than a surprise.Testing
103 tests. Beyond unit coverage of addressing, scheduling, packing and the scatter/upsample path:

Nothing is blocking. #2853 is docs-only and merged in here as its own commit, so it can land in either order without conflict. RadicalImaging/Static-DICOMWeb#130 is a separate repo — worth landing first only so the format has a producer, not because this needs it to build or test.
