For vtkImageThresholdConnectivity, yes.  For your final output, do
you need a surface made of polygons, or do you need the voxels?
What was wrong with the result from using vtkMarchingCubes and
vtkPolyDataConnectivityFilter?  You mentioned that the image was
already thresholded, so maybe vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes will give
better output?

Usenet etiquette, but this list doesn't have any specific rules and
replying at the top is perfectly acceptable.
