<div>Hi Andras,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am working on a visualization software that due to the infrastructural constraints can only take DICOM images as input. As a result I am looking for ways to convert the mesh output of some of our algorithms to DICOM. So to answer your question: No I
am currently not aware of any other software that can do that and I am still in the planning phase. I could imagine, however, that with virtual reality, surface representation will become more important in the future. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for your help,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
