API for 3D modeling in c#

Question

I want to know what API can i used to create an 3D from sequence of images. my project is to calculate liver volume through CT images. At the moment i'm searching for an API which can generate the liver model via sequence of extracted liver regions. could u please suggest API asap? thanks in advance!

Answer 1

A common option for this is VTK . Kitware has a C# API for VTK called ActiViz .

It allows you to build the model from the images, as well as do volume or geometrical rendering of the features, subsetting, volume calculation, etc.

Answer 2

XNA game studio might be a good for you, its a game platform but you could create a very nice looking stand alone application with it, or you could host the XNA part within an existing Forms Application:

Its c#
