Have a look at DeVIDE http://graphics.tudelft.nl/Projects/DeVIDE
It uses, among other libraries, VTK for visualisation and processing.
I managed to convert custom-made slices into MRI type formats using this.
From memory, you can make processing graphs with a node editor, and I'm pretty sure you could use these graphs to then process stuff from the commandline, but I could be wrong.

Good luck!

Hi Folks,

Just putting this out there in case anyone has done this thing before - Does
anyone know how/tried to turn any ultra sound scan file types or MRI data
into something remotely 3D - and in a format that is 3D package friendly?

I am still digging but it appears the majority of scan formats are 2D
sections/plans not *really* 3D?

I've found this link http://www.mccauslandcenter.sc.edu/mricro/dicom/   This
is quite a common scan data format but again on skimming appears to be only
2D/sectional.

Useful nuggets would be:

scan file formats that are definitely 3D
any small apps/programs that can change these into .stl .vrml .obj or even
.dxf

any help gratefully received!

Thanks,

D.
