Calculate thickness of thin muscle

Thanks for your reply, and sorry for the unclearness. I tried your described workflow here:

How to analyze the thickness of the model

“Thickness” is not a very well defined term for models (surface meshes), but for shell-like meshes it is probably not too difficult to estimate it robustly and accurately. Potential approaches: A. Extract medial surface and estimate thickness as 2x of distance from medial surface. There are various ways of computing these in Slicer. One possible workflow: Compute medial surface using Simple Filters module - BinaryThinningImageFilter. Compute distance map using Simple Filters module - Daniels…

And since I followed your method, I got similar results as in your example, except for the thin green line that your example has but not mine… I suppose that is the actual medial surface? If so, what does the colours red, green and blue illustrate?

I will look into your tips, thanks!
