Volume Model Dimension (mm^3)?

Post by Frederick Damen » Wed Aug 23, 2017 8:38 am

I created a 3D model from MRI data of a diseased abdominal aorta of a mouse using segmentations (see attached image). I am trying to validate another method of obtaining volumes from US data and I was hoping to get a volume dimension (mm^3) from my simvascular model. Does anyone know of a simple way to do this? From the mesh details it lists that I have 892015 cells and 146040 points. Can I convert this value somehow? Thanks for your help!

Hi Frederick,

SimVascular doesn't have this ability currently. For you data analysis, a better way is to write Python scripts to call some vtk functions, which will give you the maximum flexibility. For volume calculation, you may try "vtkMassProperties" and search the internet about how to use it.

Thanks,
