Hi Luis,

thank you for the reply.
I know that newbie questions often bores many users,
but i got still some questions before starting with ITK and VTK.

Regarding your answers:

1) When i convert the 2d cut-views to 3d model,
     there will be really an 3d model which i can also export to STL (or=20
any other 3d format) for example ?
     Sounds to good as i can believe it ;)

2) When i understand ITK correct, it is for importing / exporting and=20
processing medical datas
     in opposition to the VTK which will be used to display these datas and=
=20
making user interfaces.
     Please correct me if i=B4m wrong.

3) An account for the DICOM datasets ftp would be great.
     I=B4ve searching for it the last days, but only found single images=20
instead of sequences.
     The anatomical structures aren=B4t important for me at the moment.
     I only need any datasets which contains organs like the heart eg. to=20
start with reconstruction.


Hope that my next questions will be more interesting to all of u ;)

Thanks in advance
