There are both 2D and 3D approaches on registration and segmentation of medical
imaging implemented in ITK. To begin with, follow the instruction in
ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf on how to registrate and segment. The ITK use a registration
framework to registrate images, and there are many choices on each step. To
segement, ITK implements both region based and edge base algorithms. 

The VTK provides both volume rendering and surface rendering for volume data. But
VTK only implements Ray Casting and Marching Cube algorithms. If you want to use
other algorithms, as I know, there is implementation of ShearWarp algorithms and
will soon be ShellSplatter algorithms on VTK.

Hope it helps!
