Stacking multiple 2D images to form 3D image.

I have 100 ct images in .ima files. I want those 100 images to form a 3D box and view it in 3D.

I am using MATLAB R2010a. Do I have to install any special toolboxes to process that 3D image?

You can do all of this with core MATLAB.

Here is an example of reconstruction of a wooden dowel and visualization.

You will be using 3-d matrices

T(:,:,1) = m %Pronounced Matrix T, all rows, all columns, layer one equals m

The slice.m command will also be useful. You might be interested in sliceomatic also.

You could use MedicalViewer for .mat files of .dcm (dicom) files. I don't know the .ima format, but I'm sure someone knows if they can be saved as .mat or .dcm. Maybe you can manage that for yourself. The MedicalViewer (not sure if it's included in standard R2010a) can render a 3D CT image.

i used dicomread function to read those .ima file format.

@erik so you mean that we need to buy that MedicalViewer....if thats a yes..that should solve the problem.
