Hi,

We are using Amira for a while now, which works perfect when using
histological sections. Bummer with most of the biomedical software is that
it relies on MRI or CT data, which implies that sections are nicely aligned.
However, that is not the case when using histological data. So far, I know
only of Amira that has the option to align (both manually and automatically)
histological sections, before you can do segmenting.

Best
Dominique

Hi,

Have a look at these applications:

http://www.bioimagexd.net
http://www.slicer.org

They are fee, cross platform, applications based on the same library as
Paraview.

Regards,

Goodwin

I am having trouble finding/choosing software that I can use to turn my serial histological sections into 3D images. I found a great list on Morphmet in a letter from 2008, but it covers so much (or, the four sites it lists cover so much) I'm still overwhelmed by trying to figure out which program does what I need. It may just be a vocabulary problem, but I seem to be finding a lot of programs to analyze 3D reconstructions once they already exist.

I found something called BioVis 3D that does what I need although it is PC based and it would be a strain on my budget. Paraview looks promising, but I can't get it to open any of my image files (?!). Does anyone out there do 3D reconstructions of tissue sections ? Is there a way to do this in ImageJ, and, if so, where can I find instructions ? Can anyone suggest the right keywords to use in a search ? Mac is best, but I can use PC if necessary, and truly ideal would be something I could use to generate data for import into MorphoJ.

Many thanks,

Dany
