there are plenty of these.
http://www.hds.utc.fr/~barre/vtk/links.html#examples
look at :
         Make Your Own Visible Woman
         Creating Models From Segmented Images

also browse the documentation :
http://visualizationtoolkit.org/vtk/quality/Doc/html/pages.html
there are links between each classes and the examples using them. Look at 
vtkMarchingCubes, or vtkSynchronizedTemplates3D.
the "full-text index" should also have entries for "reconstruction" or 
stuff like that.
