Hi Luca
I managed to read the dicom directories in the end...and have been learning
from the tutorials so far.. thanks for your help so far.
But I have a few questions that I would like to ask which anyone can
probably answer :
1) While using the marching cubes method for surface extraction, my surface
has discontinuities in them at regular intervals (as in slices) and I tried
changing the threshold level at which I wanted the surface but if I lower it
too much, the discontinuities reduce but I get surrounding surfaces as well
so I need to compromise.
Maybe I am doing something wrong?
Is level set segmentation a better way to do it ?
2) I have installed Slicer3D and integrated the VMTK modules in them as
well.
What I wanted to ask is if Slicer3D is capable of 3D reconstructing
vessels (say aorta) from a bi plane or a serial monoplane angiography ?
3) Also, is Slicer3D capable of handling OCT images ? I am not sure what
format they are in but I tried to load CT data (the format was .cat) and it
could not load it so I was just wondering if it would load only dicom files
?
Hoping to hear back soon.
Many thanks,
Vikram.
