Andras hi

Dr. Zahra Soltani is working with me on an NIH patient study as part of our MIT collaboration. Previously, we have used Medtool to 1) create tet-based meshes for the vertebrae (it uses CGAL for this purpose) and 2) the application of material cards to the mesh based on HU-bone modulus calibration curve (medtool has scripts to map modulus to the tets, based the volumetric CT). We are hoping to move the complete pipeline to Slicer. We are evaluating Tetgen and would like to evaluate Gmesh as we had experience with this 3Dmesher prior. We are grateful for any advice for both processes. Ron
