[Insight-users] Re: 3D Volume Rendering

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Buu,

ITK doesn't provide any support for
visualization or user interface.

This was excluded from the scope of the
toolkit since no single approach could
satisfy the needs of all users and would
have compromised the acceptance of the
toolkit by a large public.


You may want to combine ITK and VTK in
a common pipeline. This can be done by
using the itk::VTKImageExport and
vtkImageImport classes.

Examples of ITK/VTK pipeline connection
can be found in the directory:

    Insight/Auxiliary/vtk/

- itkCurvatureFlowToVTK.cxx
- itkVTKtoITKtoVTK.cxx
- itkPNGVTKtoITKtoVTK.cxx

Once you have a vtkImage you can perform
Volume Rendering using VTK functionalities.
