[Insight-users] test surgurical cut

[Dawood Masslawi]

Dear H. B.,

It seems that you want to implement an image guided surgery application which is not an 

easy task to do, since this kind of application needs to provide a high level of user 

interaction with real-time reactivity the FE model definitely is the method of choice. In the 

ITK framework the FE capabilities are provided within the registration framework which can 

be limiting for more complex simulation problems therefore it might be better to use some 

other software with more specialized capabilities to the FE model.

Best regards,

Dawood Masslawi

Dear Dawood,
 
The point from the simulation, is that the trainner in surgury feel reality.
and the body look like the human, as i know from other research is that the finite element is the very real one.
but how ??? how cold i use it ?? this is my question?? as i search the DICOM (i think it have morte details) but most of them gray.........
which type of data will be suit, and i can then apply the algorith on it and get result?

I'm not sure what do you mean by "colored and real" but most DICOM images (e.g. CT, MRI, 

PET and SPECT) are in grayscale representation, you can artificially rescale their gray level 

intensities to colored values. Regarding the type of image, since you are most likely to use the 

FE model and you want your results in color, I assume you need your images to pertain good 

details which is a problem with the vector images.

I don't think that ParaView or VolView would perform the surgical cut for you, implementing the 

surgical cut is better to be done independently and in a parametrically controlled manner.
