[IGSTK-Users] 3D Reconstruction.

Sat Feb 26 11:33:50 EST 2011

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the reply.
By 3D i mean ,if the organ is Liver,then we have to construct a solid 3D model 
of the liver with transparent outer layer so that we can see the inner details of the liver.
Is that possible using ITKSNAP.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Ashwath.

By 3D, you mean display the contour of an anatomic structure using mesh
right?

If that's the case, It think the best way is to segment in ITK-SNAP,
save it as mesh, and then load it with igstkMeshObjectReader and display
it. You can find some code in Navigator example for read and display the
mesh.
