[vtkusers] Volume Rendering of 64 slice MDCT Dicom Images

[JOHN ATKINSON]

Hi All,

I have a DICOM data set of abdomen taken from a  64 slice MDCT .The
data set has the following details .


Width:  355.00 mm (512)
Height:  355.00 mm (512)
Depth:  185.40 mm (412)
Voxel size: 0.69x0.69x0.45
Resolution:  1.442 pixels per mm
Coordinate origin:  0,0,0
Bits per pixel: 16 (unsigned)
Display range: -120 - 240
Number of Images : 412


I want to do volume rendering with this data set in VTK .Is there any
algorithm in VTK to do this task.Can I use medical example under VTK
examples directory.Medical example uses volume 16 reader ,but my data
set has 2 bytes per pixel .Is volume 16 reader capable of doing this
task.Please Help.
