@ Marco Thiel

Thanks for your kind response. Yes, that's easy. However, I'm more interested in extracting different anatomical structures from the image by simply clicking on it (assuming that MorphologicalComponents correctly segments the various parts of the image) as ContextualizedHighlightedImage is used for the brain image here. It allows the user to select and highlight one component while keeping the rest transparent. Is there any way to do so for any 3D image(say, I want to highlight the teeth from the image you provided by just clicking on the teeth and make the rest transparent)?

Hi @Marco Thiel,

I've done the segmentation (http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/112983/how-to-create-separate-views-for-3d-input-and-output-images-graphics) for my images and the morphological components can be identified well. Now I want to design the interface such that the user can choose any component by just clicking on it. The 2D version of it can be found here(http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/35327/selecting-morphological-components-by-clicking-on-them?lq=1). Another problem with this is that it shows images as a list. However, I want them to be shown in the way as given here(http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/PhasesOfPlanets/) (consider the interface only to display the output images along with the manipulations like rotation, translation, view, zoom etc.)

Hi,

using the data appears to be quite straight forward. I guess that this is one of the strengths of Mathematica/the Wolfram Language. You first download the file, I have chosen this example. After unzipping it, you get a folder from which you can load the slices:

slices = Import[#] & /@ FileNames["*.dcm", "/Users/thiel/Desktop/CT2 tête, face, sinus/OS/"];

Image3D deals with the 3d reconstruction.

Image3D[slices]

If you click on the image you get a couple of icons. The second of which can be used to slice the 3D representation:

There are, of course, other colour schemes which might help to understand the data better. Try for example

Image3D[slices,ColorFunction->"XRay"]

Cheers,

M.

PS: Not all DICOM files on that website can be imported correctly.

I didn't know these 3D models were included! Pretty cool!
