    Hi Biomech_L Members,

    Thanks once again those who have replied to my quarry.
    I am late in posting the summary of responses to my original question.
    The original posting and the summary of responses are given below.

    Wish you a "Very Happy New Year".

    With regards

    ORIGINAL POSTING

    Hi Biomech_L Members,

    We are working on the development of a 3D FE model of human elbow/ pelvis from CT scan images (available in DICOM format).

    It will be verymuch helpful if you kindly give us the details(codes of
    well known software like IDL or language like c, c++, vc++ etc) of the
    processes to extract the boundary of each CT images and to develop
    the rquired volumes and to read the density from CT gray values to provide the element by element inhomogeneous material properties.

    We shall be highly obliged if you kindly help us in this area.

    With regards

    Amit

    SUMMARY OF RESPONSES


    Dear Amit,
    I would suggest that you contact Professor Jayaram Udupa at the University
    of Pennsylvania. He has software that can do all of these things and more.
    It may be possible to make an agreement to license this software from his
    group. http://mipgsun.mipg.upenn.edu/

    Best of Luck,
    Carl Imhauser

    Hi Amit,

    You should try downloading "Slicer" software from www.slicer.org, developed
    at Harvard in USA. It is free to download, reads in CT-slices in DICOM
    format, as well as others, and allows you to reconstruct the volume and
    build 3D models.

    That should help you, best of luck,

    Dear Dr. Roychowdhury,

    perhaps the 3D Doctor software can be useful in your researches:

    Hello,

    Try www.simpleware.co.uk. This will do all you want - but it will cost you
    and arm and a leg (£10000)
    Another one is Amira at www.tgs.com. Does not extract the grayscales though.

    Otherwise you have to stick with C++ (VTK will do it all for you).

    Good luck,
