There are many commercial softwares that can do this. You can try Amira, Analyze, MIMICS or Rhinoceros - NURBS modeling for windows - to name a few.
I have personally used Analyze, Rhino and MIMICS and both have capability to render 3D graphics.
Best luck,

I am a little confused by your question. An MRI scan should give you a 3D image (ie, point data on a 3D orthogonal grid). If you can tell me a little more about what you plan on doing with the images, I might be able to give you some more help (FEA modeling, visualization, registration, etc).

I know that there are several commercial software packages available that can do this. Have you looked into 3D Slicer (www.slicer.org). Slicer is an open source software package that we have been using for converting MRI to geometries and image analysis. It is relatively easy to use and the software is free. If you just need to convert MRI to 3D geometries (i.e. STL or VTK), 3D Slicer would be worth looking into.

You can use: MIMICS/3D doctor/etc. or other available medical image processing software.
Hope this help.

Have you tried MIMICS or one of their other products? I think 3-Matic is
another one of their conversion products

Do you want to just make images, or to create finite-element models?
I am developing my own software for this purpose:

I don't know if it's 'highly regarded', but it's free :-)
I also have some relevant information on my Web site:

I use Osirix (Mac OS only). That works pretty well.
