Dear Luca and all,

I was looking for a way in python to calculate the centreline of my 3D
surfaces and could not find anything wrapped in python (only c++
algorithms), therefore I am a new vmtk user.

My datasets consist of several 3D ultrasound volumes in metafile: each
with one .mha (example attached) and one .raw. Using vtk I first split
each volume in its slices: in the example .mha with DimSize = 272 256
208, I split my volume in 208 frames. Thereafter, in vtk again, I just
read these frames (whole volume) with the vtk.vtkImageReader2(). The
function that does this is attached and working perfectly. Question:
how can read my volume (.mha and .raw) files to vmtk? I have not been
able to do it so far..

With vtk, I obtain a surface which I get with
vtk.vtkSurfaceReconstructionFilter() and then vtk.vtkContourFilter().
Question: can vmtk be run in the same python file of (along with) vtk?
If yes, how can I use the vmtkcenterlines and probably the
vmtksurfacereader to calculate the centre line of my models? my models
are simple, they are like big elipses (always closed in a convex set),
so calculating the centreline should be simple. IF I cannot run vmtk
along with vtk, what do you advise me to do, so I can extract the
centreline with vmtk?

Your help would be really appreciated!

Many thanks.
Best regards,
Joao Domingos
