Hi there. I’m completely new to 3D slicer, let me preface that. My objective is to create a model of the anterior muscle compartment of the leg. I have found an MRI scan of the lower leg, shown in the attached image. My question: how would I go about isolating the anterior muscle from the leg so th…

The most commonly used tool for segmenting an individual muscle is “ Fill between slices ” effect in Segment Editor module. One reason is that there is no contrast difference between adjacent muscles, therefore automatic separation would be challenging. The other reason is that muscles tend to be long…

Thank you so much for your helpful reply, I was able to create an approximate model of the compartment. The problem is, it’s very approximate, and I’m trying to get it a bit more accurate. To do this I had the idea of either highlighting the compartment itself somehow, or find a way to highlight the…

Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated! When I say I want to highlight the compartment or the membrane that surrounds it, it is because I want to have a ‘template’ of the anterior compartment to draw around using the draw tool. I find it difficult to identify the specific compartments when…

You can use any single case at template. You can align and warp the template to a patient image using either point-based semi-automatic registration or automatic intensity based image registration - Registration — 3D Slicer documentation

That sounds like it could be helpful, could you explain that a little further though please as the linked document has only left me with more questions! Thanks, Ed
