Hi Gabi,

maybe you want to use the TINA manual landmarking tool (Anja C. Schunke, Paul A. Bromiley, Diethard Tautz & Neil Thacker. 2012. TINA manual landmarking tool: software for the precise digitization of 3D landmarks. Frontiers in Zoology 9:6, doi:10.1186/1742-9994-9-6). It loads stacks of DICOM files (and some other formats), allows for digitizing on the 3D reconstruction and on 2D cross-sections and exports landmark files as e.g. TPS files, which you can use for your analyses in MorphoJ .
The provisional PDF is available here: http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/9/1/6/abstract.

Cheers

Anja

Hi all,
Has anybody tried using CT scan data in MorphoJ? I want to analyse
skull shape disparity and really need to avoid damaging specimens so
am using a CT scanner to acquire shape data. However, I am only really
familiar with 2D analysis in MorphoJ, and most 3D studies that use
MorphoJ seem to use a surface scanner (digitizer).

Can MorphoJ handle large CT files, or do I need to change them in some
way? If anybody has any suggestions for landmark digitization or an
alternative program for analysis of CT data, please let me know!

Thanks in advance!!
