<DIV>I am doing a redesign for a piece of medical equipment and am considering
basing it around VTK. Please can anyone with expertise help as I have only
played with VTK for a couple of weeks.</DIV>
<DIV>The machine takes slices of data one after another. I am thinking I
could store these in a VTK volume which can then be visualised. But I have
2 issues:</DIV>
<DIV>- We need each slice to be time-stamped; would it be possible to use some
sort of compound data structure that can see the slices as a volume but also
attach information to each slice? I’m thinking this might enable me to use
VTK’s serialisation for example.</DIV>
<DIV>- Because of processing, filtering etc. there will be far too much data to
keep in memory – dozens of large volumes. Most volumes will only be
visualised as slices in the original plane, one or two will be visualised in
another plane or as 3D. Is there a way to tell VTK to cache the volume in
files and seamlessly load planes from disk as needed for display?</DIV>
<DIV>I am at the paper design stage so direction here would be very
valuable. All help much appreciated.</DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
