Hello, I tried creating a visually appealing closed surface representation of the body using an MRI image of the breast. I utilized SimpleITK and implemented a custom algorithm. Unfortunately, I observed that the resulting vtk image has noticeable gaps. How can I generate a closed surface without these holes?

Hi  
Did you try to segment the **entire** breasts (fat, gland, skin) and then apply wrap solidify?

> Making a segment that has fractured, discontinuous boundary and holes inside to be a simple solid object is a quite common task for segmentation. For example it is needed for creating simple solid bone models from CT images, extracting skin surface, segment thin surfaces, such as orbital bone wall, measuring brain volume, or volumes of various cavities. Slicer now has a tool for all this: “Wrap Solidify” Segment Editor effect, provided by [SurfaceWrapSolidify extension](https://github.com/sebastianandress/Slicer-SurfaceWrapSolidify) and contributed by Sebasti…
