<P> We have a linear scanner with a imager to take a 2D image of reservoir cores. The cores are cut in circular cylinders roughly 1.5" diameter and 4 inches long. A scan shows a length wise image of the core and stored in tiff files. Rotating the core every degree or so we can get a varied image of the core showing variations on the rock and ultimately the fluids that flow in the rock.</P>
<P>I am wondering if VTK can produce a 3D reconstruction of the images if we take 2D images of the core sample and rotate every degree until we get a full 180 deg. rotation or full 360. Can VTK also quanitify on a 12 bit gray scale the amount of fluid in the core and do calculations along the length of the core for each image. I'm looking for a program to not only graphically show 3D but calculate each image from each other for quanitify fluid saturations. There would be a large nunber of scans for the full set of 360 deg. rotation over a period of weeks to see the fluid flow change when we inject oil or water in the core.</P>
<P>Thanks,</P>
