I think we need more information before we can answer your questions.

Your first question was how to “add thickness” to image slices. If you have 
image slices, you usually want to load them in as a 3D stack and treat them 
like a volume. The spacing between the slices is typically specified by the 
data file itself or by an option in the reader (of which there are almost 100 
different types in ParaView). So how you do that depends on your data format.

You simply said that your data comes from MATLAB. That’s not very specific, 
since it is possible to output lots of different types of files from MATLAB. If 
you are not doing it yet, you might consider this MATLAB module that writes out 
VTK files (which ParaView handles very well): 
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/47814-export-3d-data-to-paraview-in-vtk-legacy-file-format
 . I haven’t used it myself (I use MATLAB very infrequently), but it looks 
pretty full featured. You might want to check that out.

You also mentioned that the image segmentation is represented by masks. The 
easiest way to deal with that is probably to use the Threshold filter to remove 
all cells that are masked out.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Paraview] [ParaView] How to add thickness to each 
slice when generating a 3D model

Also,i need to mention that segmented images are saved as Masks.

Kindly tell me, when using Paraview software should i have to use the boundary 
or the mask of the segmented image for the purpose of building a 3D model. 
(kindly correct me, if i am wrong as i am new to Paraview)

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

My goal is to generate a 3D model of  human organ.

Suppose i have segmented images in each set(each slice is saved using MatLab 
software).

So i want to know what are the options which paraview have in order to add the 
thickness to each slice.

Your feedback is appreciated.
