The isosurfaces are indeed for visualization. I am examining combining ITK and VTK, but I have a my own application that I would prefer to use, which is why I am trying to find out where the pixel intensities for the image are stored, what type the pixel intensities are, how they are passed into the isosurfacing part of ITK, and where the marching cubes algorithm is located in the source code.
<br><br>As I mentioned, I have already searched the mailing list and the manual. Where can I find this information? <br><br>Thanks,<br>Catherine Peloquin<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/27/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br>Hi Catherine,<br><br>Are the isosurfaces intended for visualization ?<br><br>If so,<br>what you may want to do is to combine ITK and VTK.<br><br><br>You will find examples on how to do this in :<br><br> InsightApplications/Auxiliary/vtk
