<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in the insight book ("Insight into Images") from
Terry S. Yoo,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>there is a nice example of adaptive lung
meshing (page 331).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question is, how can such a meshing be obtained
with ITK </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>in 3D?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suppose, one can use the ITK - Mesh framework for
this task,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but the ITK Mesh would need to be casted to a FEM -
Mesh.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can this casting be done in a straight forward way,
or is it more complicated?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, this would be interesting because one could
start to segment an image</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and mesh individual surfaces to model each tissue
with different elasticity.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any idears on this???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
