- Hi:
-
- I am beginning to put together a demo that will put a 3d medical
- object, e.g. heart, brain etc. into a virtual environment.
-
- I want to use real medical images from a NMR or other similiar
- tomography system.
-
- I need info on image formats, ideas for getting these images into
- a SGI GL format, and perhaps a pointer to an archive that has some
- images readily avialable, and (ideally) a location where I can find
- some utilities that will make my life easier
-
- any help will be appreciated
-
- John
