Re: [MORPHMET2] programs for generating cranial endocasts

I think Slicer does work, but I didn't find it particularly easy to use. Of course, many of these programs are not easy to use, Amira (Avizo) being a case in point. And Mimics wouldn't even install, so I guess it's the worst of all! But being difficult to use doesn't mean an app is more powerful.

Paul, ITK-Snap is a nice tool, but I am surprised you couldn't do what you wanted to do in 3D Slicer as it is quite feature rich. As a comprehensive program, Slicer does have a longer (but not necessarily any steeper) curve than ITK-Snap. Our goal in SlicerMorph is to ease that curve. Here are

Hi Christy, Another good option is ITK-SNAP: http://www.itksnap.org/ Although it isn't designed specifically to segment endocraniums, it has several automatic algorithms that I've used to segment fossil braincases automatically and it worked really well. You may have to clean up the segmentation

Without the data it is hard to tell, but often those crashes are memory related. Memory usage during segmentation increases 8-10 folds based on the segmentation effect being used. So if your dataset is 2GB, you need minimum of 16-20GB of "available" RAM for Slicer to work properly. If you can

Thanks so far for the suggestions everyone. I tried using the SlicerMorph extension of 3D Slicer v. 5.3.0, but every time I run it the program crashes. The DICOM file is about 2 GB, and I'm on a powerful workstation that I regularly use for CT data segmention in VGStudio Max. Has anyone else

Dear Christy, 2 freeware options: You can do this in 3Dslicer using the extension Slicermorph's 'segment endocranium' function (Slicer can obviously segment the original stacks from a wide variety of sanners as well): https://github.com/SlicerMorph/SlicerMorph#module-descriptions If you already
