<div>Thanks, Luis. </div>

<div>I need to clarify my question. Can ITK or Matlab manipulate the XRaySim software? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I am talking about using ITK or Matlab to manipulate X-RaySim, I refer to X-RaySim software. Because X-RayProsim is the only software I found so far to be able to set Euler rotation and translation matrix to rotate the CAE 3-D model at a number of orientations and convert the CAE 3-D model into a radiographic image. I need to automatize the whole process eventually. So if Matllab can manipulate the X-RaySim software, it will be nice. I don't even need to use the ITK since the existing codes are programmed in Matlab. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If Matlab or ITK can only manipulate the output images created from X-RaySim instead of the X-RaySim software, I may need to explore other software that can have the same function as X-RaySim but be able to manipulate by either Matlab or ITK. Because the ultimate goal is to automatize the process. For the time being, I can just manually load the output images created from X-RaySim into Matlab I guess. </div>

<div class="h5">Dear All,<br> I am taking up someone else's project, where the image processing program has been developed in Matlab. The ultimate goal is to compare two images for the same object. One is clinical X-ray image. The other one needs to be generated from the CAE model (solid 3-dimensional model created in mechanical drawing software such as ProE and AutoCAD) at a certain orientation. Right now, the image for the CAE model at certain orientation is created in VRbuilder, which gives the VRML file. The VRML file is not an image and therefore cannot be directly compared with the clinical X-ray image. So I need to explore a software to be able to orient the CAE model and take a radiographic image of this model. In the mean time, I wish this software can be compatible with the exiting Matlab codes in order to automatize the whole imaging processing process. As far as I know, XRaySim can orient the CAE model and take a radiographic image of this model. I wonder if ITK is able to manipulate the XRaySim. If ITK does, could I use Matlab to manipulate ITK afterwards? If anyone else has the experience to deal with the similar problem I have encountered, could you please tell me what the best solution will be? Many thanks,<br>
