Combining two CT scans together

Post by William Lim » Thu Jun 06, 2024 4:04 pm

I was wondering if there was a way to combine to CT scans that I got off the repository together to make one large scan. I want to make a singular model of the thoracic and abdominal aorta without making two separate models and exporting them into another software then importing them back into simvascular.

If anyone has any other techniques of combining models together please feel free to let me know your methods.

Best,
Will

Hi Will,

Of the top of my head, to combine two CT scans you would need to
1) read in the two scans
2) create a volume by aligning the two scans
3) create slices from the volume
4) write out image data

You might could do this using 3D Slicer or ITK.

Cheers,
Dave
