The BinaryMask3DMeshSource generates a mesh (surface) from a binary 
image using Marching cubes. See
Examples/Segmentation/DeformableModel1.cxx
Filtering/SurfaceExtraction.cxx

I don't really understand the question here. You are generating a 
separate binary dataset; So you could generate a mesh for that. And you 
could view both of them simultaneously, since VTK allows multiple 
renderers to draw into a single RenderWindow.
