Hi to all,
 
i have a dataset of cardiac MR images in dicom format (with MR tagging) which consists of short and long axis slices for the whole of the cardiac cycle
my objective is to reconstruct the volume of the heart (or a FEM model of it) so as to view and analyse the deformation of the heart during the cycle.  
 
i've built vtk, itk and fltk. However, i'm not sure what are the tools to use and how to go about it.
 
should i use itk to segment and registrate the images slice by slice for each instance first, then use vtk to render it, or are there any better ways to do it with vtk and itk? also, is it possible to create an animation of the deformation of the model during the cycle?
 
any suggestions are welcome
Thanks
 
regards
jason
