It is a challenging endeavour to extract the mesh of organs from a medical image. We have developed a pipeline that will help you do just that.
|
The process starts with a 3D medical image, from which a structure will be extracted. The particular nature of the image will inform how it is processed.
Key considerations include: •Imaging modalities •Types of data and file formats •Loading and viewing the data |
Segmentation is the extraction of a 3D volume from a set of image data.
Here, we introduce: •Freely available example software •Simple and advanced segmentation algorithms •Exporting the segmentation |
Refinement refers to the wide range of techniques used to convert a rough 3D segmentation into a finished, printable model.
Here, we introduce: •Basic refinement techniques •A range of useful software and their relative merits |
