Can I convert 3D image to an array of pixels in LabVIEW?

[symlet]

Hi all;

I am still new with labview. I has 1 question, can I convert 3D image to an array of pixels using labview?

Most of the examples I found they only convert 2D image. Hope anyone can give me some hint.

Thank You

Well, the other way around shows a 3D image (look in the example vi's)  is nothing more than a 2D array.

Now it's depending of what kind of 3D-image you have in mind. Got any data?

Hi EmcV,

Thanks for response. Actually I has 3d medical image of CT-brain scan. I want to convert this 3d image into their pixel values. How can I do that in labview?

Thank You

Without seeing the actual data it's going to be quite difficult. Can you attach such an image (datafile?).

Hi EmcV,

I attached the image. Thank You

Obviously this is just a 2D image. This is not convertible to a 3D dataset.

If you only got these images it's bad luck. If the original data is available it's a different story.

If made with a CT-scan this image is build from various slices. Might be the scanner is even able to save in 3D data.

Building a 3D dataset from a series of images is still slightly different from what you would expect. The step between images can be converted to height.

Hi EmcV,

Where can I find a 3D image? Can you give any links that provides example of 3D image? I want to distiguish between 2D and 3D array of pixels representation in labview.

look at this thread.

It has links to other threads where the 3D graphs were used.

You should also search for "gif reader" to find threads where images are read from gif files.

@Ben,

Wow, you got a new Fan.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the link and suggestion.
