Hi
I’m asking if any of you has experience on managing Dicom images and was able to import this data/picture in Rhino and handle them to create a good STL file from it.
@DanielPiker, @Macuso, @porterfield.aaron do you think Isopod/dendro could be a good way to convert this layered images into Voxels and then into a smooth mesh?
I’ve a client that builds leg prostesichs and he’s looking for a good converter from dicom to mesh.
He was using RhinoMedical but is not available any more.
Thanks for your kindly answer

I think the easiest option is probably to use a separate tool to convert the dicom to stl, then bring that stl into Rhino for further processing.
Here’s a free and open source one that looks like it does what you need:

Thanks Daniel for your fast answer.
The client is trying this software but the result aren’t ideal and he would like to have a more automatic system to do this.
Now, let’s imagine I get a way to import multiple jpg slices form the MRI do you think that using the image sampler to build points on each slide and then using them as voxels to build a waterthight mesh make sense?
… here are a few more that I bookmarked a while back, have not used either one.

Im honored to be tagged with such great minds. I dont have experience with dicom. I think the hard part is the segmentation, which the other tools mentioned will be best with. But I do have plenty of experience with prosthetics and happy to help.
A quick search came up with this, GitHub - eidelen/DicomToMesh: A command line tool to transform a DICOM volume into a 3d surface mesh (obj, stl or ply). Several mesh processing routines can be enabled, such as mesh reduction, smoothing or cleaning. Works on Linux, OSX and Windows.
That one you can build and run from command line in grasshopper. Though I have not tried it.
