From Medical Images to Finite Grids System
Jianjun Du, Xiaoyong Yang, You-jun Du · 2005
The development techniques of implementation of converting the medical slice images to 3-D finite element grids are discussed, and an integrated system based on ITK and VTK is built. The system can provide a series of functions including image reading, reduction, segmentation, reconstruction and finite element grids generation with flexible user's graphics interface. At same time, this system can also provide a powerful tool for the design, choice or assessment of image segmentation and reconstruction algorithm.
