Hi,

I thought I would send this to the VTK mailing list as well.

Hello,

I am developing a fully automated segmentation algorithm for the lateral
ventricles using MRI images from the ADNI databases and ITK. I develop label
maps in ITK and use 3D Slicer's Model Maker Module to render the surfaces of
my segmentations of the lateral ventricles and their posterior and temporal
horns which are sometimes disconnected from the main body of the ventricles.

I understand that the Model Maker Module uses a Marching Cubes algorithm to
construct the surface. I am currently reading Bill Lorensen's and Harvey
Cline's ACM paper, ("Marching Cubes: A High Resolution 3D Surface
Construction Algorithm", Computer Graphics, Volume 21, Number 4, July 1987),
and would be interested in developing renderings of my segmentation within
ITK and VTK automatically without having to interactively load them into 3D
Slicer.  This would be advantageous since my algorithm is fully automatic
and non-interactive.  Is their any example ITK or VTK code that someone
could refer me to.  I also have a mesh in my algorithm which Luis provided
me some references for rendering my deformable mesh over iterations.

Thank you,
John
