whether it is cartilage or meniscus ?
i tried in cartilage.
when we use volume rendering for bone we use CT-AAA2 format
what i should use for invertebrate disc.
when we select the intensity/threshold for cartilage (or any material) in segmentation
is any properties other than threshold also captured just as viscosity,semi-solid or stiffness?
Using volume rendering, you may or may not be able to visualize a disc - depending on what imaging modality (CT/MRI) and imaging protocol you used.
If adjusting transfer functions in volume rendering does not give you good results or you need to quantify or 3D print the disc then you need to segment the volume using Segment editor (in latest nightly version of Slicer). Cartilage can often be segmented using “Grow from seeds effect” - or of course manually, using Paint or Draw effects.
thank you sir
but you didn’t tell whether it capture other properties or not
Click “Reset field of view” buttons in the slice viewers to make the image fill the slice viewer (or right-click and drag up/down to zoom in/out).
Crop module will remove whatever is outside the cropping region of interest.
When you go to segmentation module, make sure you select the cropped volume as master volume. If another volume is selected already then delete the segmentation, create a new segmentation, and choose the cropped volume as master volume.
CT images capture radiographic density. Most often different structures have somewhat different radiographic density, but in general there is no direct mapping between radiographic density and mechanical properties. Most common approach is to segment structures and set mechanical properties to be uniform (or potentially somewhat modulated by the radiographic density) within.
Use the latest nightly version of Slicer and the Segment Editor module (not the legacy Editor module).
