Target Outcome

Geometric reconstruction of a tissue of interest ready for meshing:

as a (parametric or explicit) watertight surface representation, or
as a solid geometry

Protocols

Input

Volume of tissue of interest as a binary image aligned with original MRI coordinate system (raw, without filtering and smoothing)
Surface representation of tissue of interest in STL format in MRI coordinate system (raw, without filtering and smoothing)

Procedures

-- ["aerdemir"] DateTime(2013-12-30T15:14:36Z) This section may list general purpose procedures and alternatives to utilize the same input to reach the same output. Procedures optimized for specific tissues should also be provided in here.

Output

Explicit surface representation of tissue of interest; in STL format in MRI coordinate system (processed with volume preserving smoothing)
Parametric surface representation of tissue of interest in IGES & STP format in MRI coordinate system (processed with volume preserving smoothing)
Parametric solid model of tissue of interest in IGES & STP format in MRI coordinate system (processed with volume preserving smoothing)
