What is an easy way to build CGAL mesh out of DICOM sequence?


I have a sequence of DICOM images constituting a single scan. I would like to build a CGAL mesh representing 3D volume segmented out of that scan by thresholding. I prefer Windows and few, easy to build dependencies, if any.

I've heard that ITK can be used for this purpose, but it is a large library with a lot of overlap with CGAL. Are there any other options?


Solution

  • The example CGAL-4.9/examples/Mesh_3/mesh_3D_gray_vtk_image.cpp should be a good starting point. As this is not easy to find we will add a link to it in the CGAL User manual, see the pull request on github
