Hi, Luis, Hi. Everyone.
I am about to segment a complete set of visible human male data using ITK
software.
Based on the acknowledgement of it as a challenging job, I sincerely need your
suggestions in the following three aspects:
1)	How can I get segmented regions the same color as the original image. Since the
image is in tiff24 format, and that many methods in ITK, such as
ConnectedThresholdImageFilter/ WatershedImageFilter, etc, could only result in
binary segmented images, so how can I get a color segmentation in ITK?
2)	Which method, generally speaking, is more often used to segment the particular
part of the VHP? Namely that, which method to segment the limb, bone, muscle;
which method to segment trunk, chest, abdomen? And so on.
3)	What should the preparing steps to be? Right now , I thought the preparations
like: acquire of the anatomic structure of the human body; browse of the image set
so as to make a plan to segment from the easiest part to the hardest; a plan about
how to create a serial number. And , from your point of view, what else
preparation should I make?

Sincerely yours,
Ouyang
